@DavidButler34 Your forebears while ploughing may have lost it!

@simoncoveney fantastic appearance on political thinking with Nick Robinson. I am British / Irish with dual nationality. I echo all your thoughts on a good compromise to be reached. Coincidentally you presented me with my MBA at the Royal Ag in 2011 and It was a proud moment.

@farmerkaney Ouch keep her lit richard

@WillW_A Thank you will I hope so for you too! Great posts on here and top notch wildlife !

https://t.co/cUqNIi53mZ this was a good day for the farm. Now we have to find what is ecologically, economically, carbon and supply chain demand sustainable. I suspect it may be many different things!

[Conor Colgan @ConorColgan1]

@QUBFoodProf Listened yesterday in the combine. Be good to pay us a visit Chris, pushing hard in different areas for marginal gains in carbon management and productivity. Nigel has enjoyed popping in.

Final stages of Trade Bill consideration on the Floor of the House today. New clause 4 is interesting. It would require parliamentary approval for trade deals negotiated by UK Government. And it has attracted significant cross-party support.

@JoeWStanley Stocking rates also collapsing due to running away from N use. Critical mass of beef and sheep industry now under threat.

An accurate commentary of where we stand with post-Brexit Ag policy from @FT.

In short - nowhere. We all see the looming financial black hole at the heart of ELMs, but government isn’t even trying to square the circle @BenGoldsmith @VictoriaPrentis.

@Gill_McG_ Totally agree education can be twice as satisfying later in life when written off early days. I left school 16 and completed an MBA with distinction and bypassed a degree entirely. Congratulations.

@robertreed10 @trussliz @michaelgove @NFUtweets @NFUStweets @NFUCymru @UFUHQ Agree and have scientists that back the trade objective of Liz or US farmers sign up to improve welfare over time and let the stuff in anyway. Small print here. Commisions views will be ignored in light of legalise from another department and render the Commision pointless.

[Conor Colgan @ConorColgan1]

@JoeWStanley I am concerned they use it as permission to let the imports in using the commissions approval using whatever science that suits them. I.e. to ignore farm livestock and environmental AMR

[minette batters @Minette_Batters]

I actually have tears in my eyes. You ALL did this. I’m so proud of what you’ve achieved. Tonight this great country has drawn a line in the sand with a million people BackingBritishFarming #ThankYouSoMuch https://t.co/18uhWhzI9Y

[Conor Colgan @ConorColgan1]

@JoeWStanley @trussliz Agree completely the feed lot model hinges on in feed antibiotics. It must not be allowed to enter our markets!! I look forward to see how hard you defend our standards in current trade talks @trussliz

[Joe Stanley @JoeWStanley]

#AMR - one of the greatest threats to human health with no respect for national borders 🦠

🇬🇧 agriculture more than halved antibiotic use 2014-18 to 20% of the average 🇺🇸 level.

Chlorinated chicken is the tip of a very large iceberg @trussliz 💊

@QUBFoodProf Squirming stuff watched it myself............nice to see how they twist and turn........my faith in politics now at all time low.

[Conor Colgan @ConorColgan1]

@drichardson347 Couldn’t agree more David.
