Thank you.
Todays @AHDB_Cereals monitor farm session on building Personal Resilience was superb.
No exaggeration to say it was probably the most valuable farm meeting I have attended, and I have been subjected to ALOT of them in the past 10 years.
A subject that should be at the forefront of everyones mind, especially in such a tough industry - yet it gets nowhere near the air time required. I can count on 2 fingers the amount of times this subject has been the theme of a meeting I have been too.
I've taken loads away from the session that I know I will benefit from and also increased the value I bring to the table with current and future clients.
Thank you @TheAHDB@paulharriscoach

Great day with @NatOrgSkill regenerative farming course held on the farm lots of questions for the @UnderstandingAg team.
Trying high density grazing 250,000kg on 1/3 of a acre for a short period to regenerate the natural seed bank and feed the soil biology interesting approach.
Achieving optimum pasture growth is a delicate balance. When considering how best to meter out the pasture feed available we like to look at the following⬇️

On #peston this week ex Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane said the Bank should pause the lifting of interest rates. Today in @FT he elaborates, warning that the Bank is pursuing a new form of austerity. “Over a decade ago, in pursuit of lower debt, the UK enacted fiscal austerity. This ruptured growth and was self-defeating for debt. Today, in pursuit of lower inflation, monetary austerity risks the same fate. It is time to steer the stampeding herd away from the cliff edge, for the sake of the financial security of millions of people and the credibility of our policy institutions.”
Thanks to one of our invited farmers @EmilyFarmers for writing excellent summary of our #RegenAg event.
👀We hope to organise another event on the evidence behind these 'new' farming techniques early in 2025.

CAN YOU HELP AVA?
Meet our daughter Blaire and her friend Ava, both 3 years old and friends at nursery.
Unfortunately, Ava has been diagnosed with Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer.
She's already undergone chemotherapy and other treatments, but still has a long road ahead. There’s more volatile chemotherapy, stem cell treatment and radiotherapy to come and the sad news is that Neuroblastoma has a high risk of returning with a reduced chance of survival.
Her family is fundraising for a new vaccination treatment to prevent relapse, which costs £250,000 and is only available in New York USA. Please consider donating to help Ava.
This is a link to Ava's Go Fund Me page - https://t.co/f53OkH8wJ9 and there are collection tins in our Mossgiel Snug in Mauchline and Gilmartin’s Bakery in Stewarton, as well as other awesome small businesses in and around Mauchline.
We understand that financially, times are really tough for everyone so even if you feel you can't help finically, please share this post and spread the word to give Ava the best chance of beating this!
Just £5 from everyone who follows Mossgiel online would raise £190,000!
A Facebook page has also been setup to support Ava’s journey at https://t.co/OZH2GX0NlO
