HARVEST RECRUITS REQUIRED. Previous harvest and machinery experience advantageous. The ability to operate a washing machine and to be able to stock control a lunch box, essential! All retweets welcome & greatly appreciated. #ElvedenFarms #Harvest2022 #recruitment @ElvedenFarmer

Early Christmas present! Glad to get it done after starting way back in January! Cheers @GoodgerSimon & @agronomytrainer adapted the training well to get us though it!

@FenPeasLtd @YesPeas Wow! When were these drilled?

[Derek Wilkinson @wdwilkinson]

UK fruit and vegetable production is some of the most sustainable in the world and clearly reduces food miles. Why would government not want to support it ? We really are now running the risk that it will move overseas ! @DefraGovUK @NFUtweets @ukhomeoffice @BevDix
