Strewth to Power.
Mischief to Wisdom.
Integrity, but only as long as I can keep it together.

@DanNeidle @Democrazy_UK And an exemption for rich pensioners.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@DanNeidle @Democrazy_UK NI is really just income tax with better PR.

@jdpoc Your point would be valid if all the plants hadn’t already been shut.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@jdpoc Which British nitrogen would that be then ?

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@Ruminyfish @rorysutherland Which is what they use in caravan storage.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@Ruminyfish @rorysutherland To change direction of the forklift or car the steered part has to have sufficient room to move laterally, which would be confined in a small space, but less so in an alleyway or road.

Have to be able to get out of the car so really what you need is a forklift to park the car.

@loosecollie @AnnaLongthorp @chatswithem Was it carbon efficient to reduce broiler housing densities?
The cost has been hidden in the cheaper feed cost, but ultimately the consumer will be the one paying.

Has anyone told them yet?

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@loosecollie @AnnaLongthorp @chatswithem So to summarise the eggs might be more carbon efficient but the hens aren’t.

@cattlefinishers I might now have to put our May hay in the barn.

Kemi Badenoch has come across as statesmanlike and prime ministerial over the last few days. I’ve been extremely impressed with the way she has spoken with gravitas and clearly articulated her views.

The deceptive and misleading attack ad on the Conservative leader put out by Reform and publicly backed by Zia Yusef, Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman is pretty contemptible in my view, and severely calls into doubt their integrity.

These are good examples of how politicians should, and should not, behave.

@AllieRenison @AphraBrandreth To put that into terms the great Samuel Marcus Lowe used to often explain. You can’t build electric cars without electric batteries.
So if you apply import tax to batteries you have to do so to cars too.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@AllieRenison @AphraBrandreth Fairly obviously the nutrients we utilise are the constituents of the crops we produce and this applies equally to those which are imported.

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@BritishBigDog Oh give it time.
It’s already morphed from the supposed revolutionary pursuit of a new way of doing government into the trash can for a previous generation of failed Conservative politicians.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@mustbedriver Well TBF it’s only really people in this country who try to reverse 4 wheel drays into tight spaces.
Everyone else just has a bigger yard and drives in a circle 👍

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@TrooperSnooks @SuffolkMatthew @henrydodds @DrFrancisYoung Mangolds were replaced by fodder beet I believe?

Machine harvestable.

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@LoftusSteve @BareLeft Also throughout my time farming we were told that yields were continuously rising and thus offsetting the poor crop returns.
Apparently this only applies to Brazil 😁

[edward price @EdwdPrice]

@LoftusSteve @BareLeft Also your flat graph isn’t very flat since 2012 was a disastrously wet year where harvest was extremely difficult, but there was at least a full subsidy payment.
