Fertilizer costs have reached shocking levels threatening farm viability. The government’s 2027 carbon tax will add another £50 - 75/t forcing Britains farmers to abandon autumn planting decisions.

Food prices will rise, import dependency will increase ☹️

The carbon tax on fertilizer must be scrapped immediately.

As the media reports of food and energy shortages in Britain because of the Iran war, it’s worth remembering that Britain is surrounded by fertile land and natural energy yet, successive governments have undermined farming, fishing and energy production for decades. Shameful.

THIS NEEDS SHARING. THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL! Astonishing.

Tesco’s are selling their “quality roast beef” and adding potato starch to it… And you’re paying £9.99 a kilo for the privilege. I cannot believe why anybody wants to buy meat from Tesco. Not only do they not pay their Farmers fairly and undermine their produce with additives- they are ripping the consumer off big time.
Share this message FAR AND WIDE. Support your proper meat suppliers.

The University of Nebraska debunks the manipulation behind cow farts/burps and methane:

“They have not accounted for the capture part, they only account for methane being released. Carbon capture in soil and grass - helped out by cow grazing and manure - can far outweigh the emissions from cattle. Grasslands can take up more CO2 and carbon in the soil and plants, that offsets the CO2 that cattle are producing but it also offsets the methane.”

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

If cattle are causing climate catastrophe, explain the Serengeti. 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra, thousands of buffalo, countless other ruminants. All producing methane. All grazing. All part of the most biodiverse ecosystem on Earth.

The planet's systems evolved to handle this. Grasslands and grazers co-evolved over millions of years. The methane from ruminants is part of a biogenic cycle that breaks down in 12 years back to CO2 that grass absorbed six months ago. No net accumulation.

What the planet didn't evolve to handle is burning fossil fuels that add carbon from 300 million years ago into the current atmosphere. That's new carbon. That accumulates. That's the actual problem.

But attacking fossil fuels means confronting the entire industrial economy. Attacking cattle means you can sell plant-based burgers and feel like you're saving the world while changing nothing structural.

The Serengeti has maintained itself for millions of years with more ruminants per square kilometre than any cattle ranch on Earth. If ruminant methane was catastrophic, this wouldn't be possible. The grass wouldn't grow. The ecosystem would collapse. But it thrives because this is exactly what these systems evolved to do.

Cattle are part of the same natural cycle. They're not adding new carbon. They're recycling carbon that was atmospheric six months ago and will be atmospheric again in 12 years. It's a loop, not a leak.

But facts don't sell Impossible Burgers, so here we are.

Since it's conference season, here's a scene from the 2023 @NFUtweets conference when @Keir_Starmer came into the press room after addressing farmers at the conference. Here's a brief reminder of what he told farmers - enjoy 🧵(1/7)

The University of Nebraska has called out the misleading narrative on cow burps & methane on climate change:

“They have not accounted for the capture part, they only account for methane being released. Carbon capture in soil and grass - helped out by cow grazing and manure - can far outweigh the emissions from cattle. Grasslands can take up more CO2 and carbon in the soil and plants, that offsets the CO2 that cattle are producing but it also offsets the methane.”

The harsh reality of farming.

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

Can someone explain to me how we can cheapen food, end farm support, retain domestic food production, have food security and create a more sustainable and nature friendly farming system?

No?

OK thanks

The UK has the fifth lowest amount of annual sunshine hours in the world. Yet the UK government is ramming through massive solar panel developments on prime farmland while spending £50m on experiments to dim the sun. The clowns are running the circus.

You did the exact opposite to farmers. You wrecked the future of thousands of British family farmers.

“We’ve set out a roadmap for farming which has been welcomed by farmers.”

~ Keir Starmer

This is simply not true. The Labour government’s roadmap for farming hasn’t been welcomed by farmers. It’s been wholeheartedly condemned.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

China emits more CO2 than the entire developed world combined. But hey, let’s blame cow burps and wood burners in the UK.

🗣️ @ProagriLtd: “This is another shattering blow to English farms, delivered yet again with no warning, no understanding of the industry, and a complete lack of compassion or care.”

“The department of sewage and angry farmers” @SteveReedMP's own words.

Ignored the pleas of the people who feed us on Tuesday, mocked them at a Westminster press lunch on Wednesday. Contempt for the countryside, plain and simple.

Let's scrap inheritance tax for farmers, for small business owners, for workers - for EVERYONE.

I say abolish the death tax and let families keep the cash their relatives worked hard to earn, and paid tax on.

One final kick in the teeth from the taxman.

Scrap the whole thing.
