@RTKfarmer @GWCT @JoeWStanley @DefraGovUK @angelaeagle Do you know the details as to why? From what the FW article said it may have been avoidable

Russia's biggest grain terminal is smoking, Ukraine's exports are down 76% this month, wheat is up 30% this year, and the Strait of Hormuz has been shut since February.

Britain's answer? We closed our last ammonia plant, we import our nitrogen, and now we tax the carbon in it at the border so farmers spread less and grow less.

Cheap imported food was never a strategy. It was a gamble on somebody else's peace.

Back British farmers @andyburnham , or buy your bread from whoever wins the wheat war................. At whatever price they demand

Ridiculous. And then a whole new level of ridiculous.

0.1% over on moisture. £8.19 a tonne to dry it, and 3.8% of the weight taken off.

This in a year where millions of tonnes have been harvested, well below 15%

If you ever wanted evidence of how one sided this supply chain is, here it is. 🫤

The loss of Lee Blackett for Bath has hurt not only their attacking shape but also their key skills and accuracy with ball in hand.

There weren’t many times last season Bath didn’t score tries once in the 22, this year their strike rate has fallen off.

[Clive Bailye @TWBFarms]

Time for a solution ?

Switching UK petrol from E10 to E15 would use about 1.8 million tonnes of UK wheat, already sat in UK stores right now.

That’s around 660 million litres of ethanol, roughly equal to 2.7 million barrels of oil. Farmers could deliver this in months, not years, no strait of Hormuz to navigate.

Energy policy is overlooking a ready-made domestic solution.

And the best bit? This is a fully sustainable solution that would boost GDP and give a desperately needed immediate shot in the arm for British farmers 👍#EnergySecurity #Farming #Biofuels #UK #GDP #BritishFarming

🚨 NEW: Aussie 🇦🇺 farmers are already cutting production due to fuel and fertiliser shortages. Some have just one week of fuel left.

👉 Fewer crops planted
👉 Transport under strain
👉 Prices rising fast

“If everything stops, no one gets to eat.”

This is how food shortages begin and Britain weakened our own food system first.

Now we face a global shock.

@WhitriggsStuart Stuart,
Can you follow me please I would like to send you a message directly about a bale unrolled request.
Thanks David Green

[Clive Bailye @TWBFarms]

This is a rather eloquent way of saying no matter how efficient you are British arable farming is no longer viable

Thank-you @UKLabour in less than a year you have destroyed an industry 😥

Growth ? GDP ? Food security 🤣🤣🤣

Analysis by Land App showing where 4,520 CS Mid-Tier farm environmental schemes covering >51,000ha arable land expire on 31st Dec due to government’s suspension of SFI.

Decades of taxpayer investment in nature to be erased while ministers ponder.

You know it’s going to be a lively few days in Bath when Ollie Lawrence has the boom box, Van Graan is beeping the bus horn and Alfie Barbeary’s getting beer poured over his head from the Premiership trophy before 8pm 🍺🏆

Three years on from finishing bottom of the league, nine of Bath's team from the final game of that season will start in the 2024/25 @premrugby final 📈🛁

This chart blows my mind

That is cattle price inflation - and it becomes food price inflation

@cutlerstom I think they believe the SFI is the “farmers scheme” and the real value is delivered through Higher Tier and Landscape Recovery schemes.
