Dear @hovisbakery please can you confirm what percentage of UK produced #milling #wheat you currently use in your bread as the packaging suggests it’s 100%?

[Stuart Roberts 🔸 @HertsFarmer]

Well said @RGFWesterdale & Wyn Evans. Key is making sure hindquarter cuts are sold in good volumes to return to a better carcase balance. Can’t beat @RedTractorFood steak this weekend so let’s see all the retailers doing their bit to drive sales

The world may have been plunged into a dark time but farmers all over Britain are quietly going about their business, growing fantastic produce, planting crops to be harvested this summer. Don't worry about food Britain, we have your back. #EatFarmNow #justfarmersuk #FoodArmy

Spring wheat at last drilled into land we’ve been looking at for months. But no heroics here when there are real heroes out there on the @NHSuk frontline. Next autumn when this wheat is harvested I’m minded to use the flour to bake you the biggest ruddy THANK YOU cake ever made

[Sarah Bell @Sarahbellagri]

I might have mentioned supply chain equity a few times over the last 12 months. Commercial pressure has led to supply chain fragility and lack of fairness. There is nothing in here I take issue with. We reap what we sow. hope a more resilient food policy is the silver lining

[Jake Freestone @No1FarmerJake]

Too many people not keeping their distance on the hill today, dogs loose and now a flurry of tissues. #CoronaCrisisuk #whatiswrongwithpeople?

[Laceys Family Farm @LaceysFarm]

No need to panic!
We’ve plenty of milk.
Our milk is all from our cows on our farm. Zero food miles, if we need more we can bottle more! #shoplocal

[Steven Lear @farmerbiff]

@essexpeasant Bravo that man. Society is going to need to pull together over the next year.

[Guy Smith @essexpeasant]

This crisis could well change the way this country looks at food security and what that means in terms of maintaining UK production. BUT this is NOT the time for farming industry to seek to take political advantage, it’s time for the industry to ask what it can do to help.

Looking at the better spring forecast it looks like farmers are about to get busier. So please take health and safety very seriously folks. The last thing our health and emergency service needs now is having to cater for people who decided to take risks.Think safe. Stay safe.

[Andrew Howard @FarmerAndyH]

Cheered me up a bit this morning. Second wheat in the row. Not all looking so good though.

[David Exwood @DavidatWestons]

#FarmingCares we are gradually replacing all our footpath stiles with kissing gates because we want to make our rights of way more accessible. We did this one on a well used path yesterday.

[Vicky @VickySRobin]

There are fears that glyphosate weedkillers cause cancer. But the evidence is weak and a ban would be harmful https://t.co/z8YaZinCPE
