Nice simple balanced summary for those, perhaps not farming, that don’t fully understand it. #FamilyFarmTax

@howemill @ThrimbyFarms Yes they have the right to buy but will this come too late. A lot of farmers in their 60’s and won’t pay off the farm before they die and their children will be burdened with that debt plus IHT on the full value. Will the banks loan against this? Is it worth the stress!

[Russell Calder @RussellCalder]

@OldHallFm @howemill If you eat too much beef it will give you cancer according to some studies. If you look you will find a study that will tell you what you want to hear. You should have a listen to the Rich Roll podcast cast with Layne Norton.

@tom_hoggan_ @DJFuller1969 @McGregorFarms I might be interested? Does it have section control unlocked?

[Russell Calder @RussellCalder]

@sixinchessoil @wigsandwords @ORFC Well done, had a look at your screenings and only one in Scotland on an island any chance of some more?

[Russell Calder @RussellCalder]

@vaderbogger @GMB So the man that spends his life in a plane for work, wants to stop the production of beef to save the world. Maybe wants to start with his own industry before preaching about others.

@Tom_Clarke @BritishSugar Sorry, but is this a theoretical market? If so who covers the short fall? Even if it’s not I don’t see many people wanting to invest in something that only has two parties at the table.

@TWBFarms Clive how much yield loss do you get on each set off wheelings? Is there any yield loss if every machine is on a different path? Is there More chance of the soil and roots healing the compaction of one machine rather than 2 or 3 passes on the same track.

@RewildScotland Getting there not long now!

[Russell Calder @RussellCalder]

@RewildScotland Why do you always focus on farm land? You never post a picture of a house, factory, wind turbine, park, office block non of these are natural? The land scape you have shown above is a lot closer to natural than the later!

@bleating_lamb I am wondering if mine is fertiliser! We used a wing jet up to the last application and this bit got missed as at a pole.

[Russell Calder @RussellCalder]

@bleating_lamb I was thinking the same here! It seemed brighter and clearer than the fungicide treated next to it! No broadway star used on it!

[Russell Calder @RussellCalder]

@RewildScotland And why is it right that large companies can buy up the land, then cover it in forestry to of set the carbon emissions?
