Just totted up what we’ve spent on the arable to get to harvest this year - just shy of £700,000 to try and get £800-850,000 back (weather dependant) makes you feel a bit sick!! 🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲

🤩 The new Claas Xerion 12 series firmly stakes a claim to a place in the “monster tractor” category in terms of scale and power.

THINK TRACTOR FACTOR & No Farmer Drama !
The country is just about to undergo Harvest 2023 where you will see almost every farm worker, tractor, combine, trailers and large farm equipment mobilizing on Britain’s roads. Travelling farm to farm to harvest crops that will then appear in supermarkets, restaurants etc
Every year we face frustrated & angry drivers who are not expecting to see so much large machinery on the road at all times of the day and night.
We would love to for you to get behind us and help us bring in the harvest.
Help us move around by not trying to jump in between convoys or try and get past us on narrow roads. Leave extra time for your journeys for the next 7 weeks.
We always have an escort driver travelling with the combine harvester, this will display wide vehicle signs and is there to warn oncoming traffic to slow down or even pull over as quite often there is not enough room for the combine and another vehicle.
THINK TRACTOR FACTOR – Leave extra time for your journey, travel slower and let’s make sure everyone gets home safe this summer. No Farmer Drama !

Please keep a look out for this pickup! Stolen last night from our farm. Office was broken into last night. Cash and keys stolen #stolen @SuffolkPolice

Absolutely right that high animal welfare systems are used on British farms. But there are additional costs and/or lower productivity - so for the rug to be pulled from under producers by allowing free-for-all egg imports is outrageous. 🐓

[Joe Stanley @JoeWStanley]

Another day in the litany of broken promises to UK farmers & consumers on food trade.

Green light given to importation of battery-cage produced eggs, illegal in UK since 2012 on welfare grounds. Who in UK is demanding lower food standards?

@ShaunGroom @BrooklandsMuseu I left a London event early to see Concords fly into @HeathrowAirport for the last time. Gambled on the south runway - sure enough, they came in on the north! Still a great sight though.

[Peter Hill @Machinewriter]

@ShaunGroom Same here, Shaun. But you can go to the Brooklands Museum @BrooklandsMuseu and have an afternoon tea ‘flight’. https://t.co/M8QSRwvPG0
