@LonsdaleKeith @Onelife14213330 And in seasonal businesses like farming what looks like a profit can suddenly flip into a loss but you will have paid and financed the tax on it. Great, thanks John.

Russian wheat anyone?

[Andrey Sizov @sizov_andre]

Russia’s Ust-Luga port is ablaze after a large-scale drone attack tonight.

Ust-Luga is a major energy export hub — and now the main Russian #grain export port on the Baltic.

It’s interesting that this is happening right in the middle of the Abu Dhabi negotiations.

The last major confirmed attack on Ust-Luga was on September 1.

Quite a backdrop for day two in Abu Dhabi.

@HefinR @FarmersOfTheUK The most grass they have seen since April!
Calves weaned last week and dams seem a lot happier for it, now out for winter over chalk

@audlemagronpaul With the demise of mixed farming very few crops now actually now have a gate to close!

@stuartpengs Old saying ‘dry summer rabbits, wet summer rats’
Holds true around here last two summers - loads of rabbits not many
rats

@Rosewood_Farm @billmero @DefraGovUK Probably not on Andrew’s actual own fields but a general erosion of food production in this country to solar, huge areas of biofuels etc, SFI, roads houses etc and then no wonder why our self sufficiency drops each year. And a knock on effect beyond the gate processing industry

[David Passmore @Mays_Farm1]

Food production ceasing in the bread basket of England to be replaced by sugar grown on land from the Amazon’s cleared rainforests using chemicals banned here.
What on earth are we doing as a nation?
@DefraGovUK

[Andrew Ward 🇬🇧🚜 @wheat_daddy]

The last ever crop of sugar beet to be grown on the farm is heading to Newark factory. Sad times but we can’t keep producing food and not making a margin. At least the soil and farm roads will be pleased in a wet time!!

[David Passmore @Mays_Farm1]

@anthonybecvar Can get excellent yields from broadcasting wheat and a pass with a triple

Why? Almost certainly because plants are spread out and not competing in rows next door to each other @drkindred @niabgroup

@Rosewood_Farm And viruses in farm animals- blue tongue rife this year, schmallenberg and bird flu also things we hadn’t heard of five years ago

@twitcherspud @DefraGovUK @WildlifeTrusts It will be overrun in five years time by corvids and foxes and the curlews gone

[David Passmore @Mays_Farm1]

Now IHT from family farms and businesses is coming in @DefraGovUK has started nationalising farming, paid for by the dying farmers themselves
@FairFamFarming

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

The government is funding one of England's biggest land purchases for nature.
