❓ | We're in the political Q&A session at #NFU25. @NFULNR county chair @JoeWStanley asks:

"When every farm business owner, farm finance expert & farmer representative body is able to demonstrate how you have your sums wrong on APR & BPR, why do you think you know better?"

It’s nearly Big Farmland Bird Count time!

From 7-23 February take 30 minutes to record the bird species on 2ha of your farm, connect with nature & help @Gameandwildlife shout about the great work occurring on farms across the UK.

Delighted to have spent my last day with @LeicsRuralCrime, who received a Chief Constables Commendation for excellence.

This team, as a whole + individuals, have made such a difference to members + rural communities since NFU lobbying secured them- I couldn’t be prouder😊

@Stontonwyville @JoeWStanley @LeicsRuralCrime @LeicsPCC @aliciakearns Satisfaction surveys of NFU members over the last 4 years show a volte face re reporting confidence + informed response thanks to @LeicsRuralCrime efforts, and data shows they’ve reduced rural crime by 16%, but I have flagged your comment to their Sgt who will be in touch.

@JoeWStanley Cow 💩 a sieve and some water. Need it from an animal on a TMR wash it till you’re left with food stuffs and talk about different things they eat and having 4 stomachs. Mostly they just love playing with 💩!
