@Wyefarm @JeremyClarkson Got bushel weights back on Extase and they are 83. Good protein and hagberg but was told so are every one else's. Premium over feed will be nowt then! Based on good bushel I've upgraded harvest from crap to still crap.

@SpudSlingsby @Nick_Wilson3 I certainly don't agree with everything Trump says or does, but seeing him talk about how he supports US farmers with no tax with Starmer next to him was great.

@SpudSlingsby @Wyefarm @Nick_Wilson3 Mine vary from not too bad to I wish someone else was looking down at it from the combine seat! Unfortunately it's more of the latter!

@Rhinos_Revenge So pleased I got to see him twice last year when he supported Quo. He spoke about his illness and said he was wearing a hat because he was losing his hair. A very open and honest thing to do. It's obvious from all the comments in the media he was a well liked bloke. A sad day.

@georgewdunn @saveoldmaltonc1 @Keir_Starmer @DanielZeichner @10DowningStreet @SteveReedMP Same as all his other promises, worthless.

@SpudSlingsby Hard luck Andrew. Better come back to the pub next week. I still owe you a pint.

@SpudSlingsby @spud_yorkshire @gazetteherald All the expense involved having to get new headed note paper and other essential stuff

[Mark Wilson @HovinghamMark]

@Wyefarm At a time when we need all the support we can get, this is just idiotic.

@SimonOKing @BBCBreakfast I wish you would stop giving warnings about every type of weather that comes. It's the middle of November so it should cold. You bang on about it being too warm due to climate change/crisis/catastrophe then when it gets cold that's not good either.

@SpudSlingsby @RichMadd86 In farming you buy retail, sell wholesale and pay the haulage both ways

[Mark Wilson @HovinghamMark]

@SpudSlingsby @cutlerstom More likely to commit to reduce livestock numbers!! I think I heard that planes were going to be exempt from any commitment. That really makes sense!🙄

@thevalleyfarmer @RBoldan Yes a Cock Pheasant. I remember we had one once. Thankfully a distant memory

@saveoldmaltonc1 @milkfarmerphil @tenantfarmers @byameliahill @AngelaRayner It's ridiculous that despite an industrial estate being near to you, non of the buildings have solar panels on the roof. Some of them are new so why not make it part of planning to put them on. There will be 1000's of acres of industrial roof tops in the country.

@jimclark67crop Mines 17. That was a big step up from 12 years ago

[Mark Wilson @HovinghamMark]

Plenty of pictures on here of swanky new combines so I thought a picture of something more simple and peasant like! 1986 8080. Still going reasonably well-although it does have its moments!! Air con still works though.

[Mark Wilson @HovinghamMark]

@SpudSlingsby He works on Countryfile, enough said!!

[Mark Wilson @HovinghamMark]

@SpudSlingsby Well done ord lad. No excuse for missing Thursday pub night now.....🍺

[Mark Wilson @HovinghamMark]

@SpudSlingsby @The_wilk79 I'm happy to stay a peasant. Doesn't mean I don't embrace new technologies and ideas though.

[Mark Wilson @HovinghamMark]

@SpudSlingsby @d_pdear @McCainUKIE I can't see Andrew at a Eurovision party dressed in sequins! Damn I've got that image in my head now!!

[Mark Wilson @HovinghamMark]

@SpudSlingsby I agree. When you use can rinse on sprayer the water doesn't always clean the sloped bit near the opening. Bad can design
