Stocken Farm

Mixed farming in the Chiltern Hills - Dairy, arable and beef

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

If you invented a machine that could:

- Restore degraded land
- Build topsoil
- Sequester carbon
- Produce fertiliser
- Create complete protein
- Generate its own fuel
- Reproduce itself
- Require zero electricity

You'd win the Nobel peace prize.

Instead, we blame them for climate change.

These cows will be tending to their fields as they always have, while city-based career politicians discuss their impact on national climate agenda.

This went live late yday. In just a few hours an amazing 45,000 people have already pledged their support. Staggering numbers; we’ve never seen anything like it. A huge thank you on behalf of farmers & growers. Your support genuinely means everything to those producing our food.

@loweroddfarm We’ve been really lucky with 1st & 2nd cuts, the weather (& contractor!) coming right 🙏 Both were followed by heavy rain. Really feel for anyone still waiting to get on, worst nightmare 😬🐮

[Stocken Farm @StockenFarm]

Second cut is done 🙌 Always a relief to see it in the clamp 🚜👍😁🐮#silaging2024

Amazing picture of a Red Kite getting up close and personal with the drone 👀 They do love a bit of silaging!

[Stocken Farm @StockenFarm]

That’s 1st cut done and dusted 🙌🚜🐮Just about managed to stay dry ☀️

Our very own Charlotte West eloquently demonstrating why she won Young Dairy Farmer of the Year at the Cream Awards last year, on the importance of Team dynamics, calf health and the possibility of introducing robotics at Stocken Farm! 👀🐮 https://t.co/mIGkZYgKPC

Really interesting Poll by @MartinSLewis 👀🤔🐮🚜🐷🐥🐑🌾🌽🥕🥦 Can’t wait to see the final results!

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Today's Twitter Poll: Do you know a farmer (or food producer) directly, either as a customer or as a friend?

The aim is to testing how personally linked people are to UK agriculture.

PS Thanks to Jan_Mccourt for suggesting this poll.

Maize harvesting underway 🌽🌽 Not the tallest of crops this year but some huge cobs 🌽🌽

Making the most of the dry spell ☀️to get some maize harvest done 🌽🚜

Trigger warning: suicide

In the UK, at least one farmer a week takes their own life.

It’s a harrowing statistic that shows just how important The Duchy of Cornwall’s new Mental Health Strategy is going to be.
