Farmers are at the forefront of climate change. We want soil not oil.

@DanicaPriest That guy’s a vile little misogynist as well as a fake environmentalist. He’s got serious form. Blocked him ages ago.

@Mattisamazing33 They do around stock unless a working dog. Why run the risk of getting your dog shot if your dog enters a field with sheep.

@1GarethWynJones @JeremyClarkson Paying off your mortgage? Don’t you keep saying your farm has been owned by your family for 300 years? Time enough to pay off a mortgage eh?

@authenticTERF I’ve always thought this was a British strength. So we can say racism is mean but an excessive numbers of immigrants is unsustainable

@authenticTERF So not Paddington then?

We haven’t had a drop of rain for about a month

For third time in recent years we’ve gone from late winter bare to drought bare with no spring flush of moisture

We’re managing because we manage grazing and stockpile for May, but way behind on growth of a normal year
