This weeks haul from the hedgerows up the lane (very embarrassing when I go to the recycling centre). When I was you ,we went to the pub (yes too often), this I think is worrying.

@louisearable MMM, you need the wife to come and comment on soil health😀

Includes a nice article on F1 hybrid wheat (though I do say so myself 😉) @Elsomsseeds @YeorgiaArgirou

I had a small procedure carried out at a local (Hertford) hospital today. The specialist was brilliant, the nurses were brilliant, so were the admin staff in organising me to be there etc, (coffee was rubbish!) At my age, we get more grateful by the minute! Thank you @NHS

So if the Govt. Are so intent on #NetZero, why are all the new builds designed without solar PV?
Every one of them should be designed with a 4kW array, air source heat pump battery back up and EV charger.
Yet they sanction thousands of hectares of solar farms. 🤔

@RTKfarmer Bought another nice loaf made with Wil farmed wheat this morning!!

[Colin Peters @colinbreakcrop]

I woke up to discover I am a grandad!😀

[Colin Peters @colinbreakcrop]

@JamesWMayes79 @danholley_ @BourgaultVos Agreed, I was sort of worried taking the dogs out! What to wear?

[Colin Peters @colinbreakcrop]

Nice tea in Whitehall tonight surrounded by many incredibly experienced soil scientists. Great discussion and company. Many thanks @NPKclub.

Bit of creative license by @Tesco - since when have we grown #canemolasses in the UK? @NFUSugar either it’s British or it’s not

[Colin Peters @colinbreakcrop]

Well you do have to try it and it is with bubble n squeak!

[Colin Peters @colinbreakcrop]

Yet again I was covered in falling shot whilst walking the dogs at lunchtime. This also meant I had to walk across muddy fields of wheat rather than follow the footpaths. When is it going to be a legal requirement for shoots to notify the public of when they are having a shoot?

[Colin Peters @colinbreakcrop]

Great chat today re csfb, we will be doing follow meetings so if interested, let me know. Any comments (don't have to be polite) welcome.
