Soon be starting the crop trials season.
A little request for @AHDB_Cereals
Can you please put the varieties parents on the App, recommended & candidate varieties.
I really can't see a good reason for not doing it unless you have one.
@wesstreeting Don’t give me that claptrap. You voted at every opportunity to bring back IHT which is crippling a lot of farms, you don’t have our back at all, don’t pretend you do.
“Labour let farmers down.”
He was in the Cabinet that brought in the Family Farm Tax.
He voted for it on SIX occasions in fact !
He refused to meet farmer groups when it mattered
And now he’s listening.
How Good of him. 😔
Just how duplicitous and consumed by personal ambition can a politician be ? …… well now we know !

I don’t really care what your politics are (or how you feel about Jeremy Clarkson)
Speaks volumes about 🇬🇧 that a farmers choir won Britain’s Got Talent
Better to try to understand why (than rage as some are oddly doing)
'This whole net zero craziness is costing us dearly. We're importing everything we could have produced here.'
Farmer and activist Olly Harrison offers an honest assessment of how dire the situation is for farmers up and down the UK.
Nothing like a bit of free advertising! I'd be very grateful for some shares and general proliferation!!
When the full listing arrives, I'll shall let you know.

During a week in which our farmers take the government to Court….
…..and as the Finance Bill continues its last stages in Parliament….
….there are still so many unanswered questions regarding this government’s ill thought through Family Farm and Family Business Tax.
I should be on the farm today planting barley or spreading fertiliser, but instead we’re at the High Court for a Judicial Review where we’ll ask the Court to step in and declare that the Chancellor’s decision not to consult properly over IHT changes with the public was unlawful.
@EdConwaySky You should look into RED Diesel, farmers being quoted outrageous prices which they need for spring work ! 0.98p to £1.48 p that up from .65 p a week ago ! Oil up 15% Red uo 60%-80% @NFUtweets
IMPORTANT: A thank you, and an ask.
Thank YOU for your support as we look to take the gov to Judicial Review at the High Court.
An ask: *the case MUST be the main story*. That means please no tractors unless you have police permission, please no logos (this is about all of us), and please no rude banners. This is a serious message and we are (and must be) unified as an industry.
What goes on inside the court room should be the media story, not what happens outside it. Thanks for reading and heeding this message
We appreciate your support, and thank you in advance for a show of unity as we stand with family farms and family firms across the UK.

@loosecollie And so many Whys to ask:
Why aren't the figures reported monthly?
Why aren't inspection rates increased to 100% for importers/hauliers involved in 'no-shows'?
Why are we so willing to risk food safety & biosecurity in our trade flows?
Political, operational and cultural failures
