@RTKfarmer @Camgrain @FrontierAg Same here re. Seed rate @RTKfarmer. But looking good.

[National Farmers' Union @NFUtweets]

Do you agree?

1 Million people previously signed our petition to safeguard British food standards. Let's keep it that way!

The heat may not kill you, but the global food crisis might! https://t.co/ewAbq7LjE0 via @YouTube

@cutlerstom Less than 1mm here (IP21) last night and not much in the forecast... situation getting desperate!

[Richard Self @CozzUno]

Just had (what I believe to be) a Hummingbird Hawk Moth on the flowers just outside my office. The little critter was so fast I couldn't get a good picture of it, but someone will tell me if I am wrong.

What a day for @daveryding 🥇 and what a day for British sport 🇬🇧

@HawfordFarm I believe it’s called a scud winder.

[David White 🇬🇧+🇪🇺 @RTKfarmer]

Had to watch it twice.

@charliecat5 @Evo_Farming I believe it is too easy to just blame subsidies, how are other EU countries doing (genuine Q)? I believe the lack of support in education and skills is a major factor. All the farmers I know want to improve, but they need the right support to help them to achieve this.

I thought it would be interesting to use the European Union energy efficiency labels to rate pesticide intensity of use in different countries. Here are the results using the @OECD_Stat Agri-environmental Indicators database https://t.co/YU5b8cvRVg.

@v8giraffe It’s a good’n, but not mine. I’ve done it up for a neighbour. We did have one in the seventies. I used to ride on those nice square mud guards with my grandad driving. Probably not the safest thing to do.

MF 135 now restored!

[Richard Self @CozzUno]

Here you are @grainstoragerob just to prove in really am fitting a new crankshaft today. It’s been a few years since I have done one but it soon comes back to you.

Winter beans drilled, with a very well defined front coming over. ⁦@beckymitchell29⁩

@4bruce7 My Grandad, to ask him about what really happened to him in WW1 and to thank him for working so hard on the farm and helping to secure a good future for his family. If I could have a 2nd, it would be Bobby Robson, to thank him for some great memories!

Sunshine☀️ !!! Revving up the sprayer as I tweet!

[Richard Self @CozzUno]

@CoediogCowboi @drichardson347 Well he is certainly at the core of government, but his ideas are not always apeeling and they give some people the pip!

[Richard Self @CozzUno]

I am restoring a MF 135 for a neighbour, my granddaughter seems to want to get involved too!
