@BellBarclay I took the picture. Not much use for anything else birthday related Barclay

[David Wright @dwright_IFJ]

Sure, what else would you want other than your favourite cow on your 10th birthday cake?

[David Wright @dwright_IFJ]

@DeniseL28477705 Yes, unreal. She isn't so keen on cows on a cold wet evening though

Spotted this on a farm in Fermanagh yesterday. Made from an old galvanised sprayer. Holds 1200l. Farmer reckoned it cost him £300 all in. Used on an out farm with no water supply. Wish I was that innovative although still reckon my Sim bull might take it apart

Poots looks to amend Bailey climate bill 03 March 2022 Free https://t.co/MXwZCxBulx

[Farmers Journal NI @FJNorth]

"The I's have it". Amendment 1 has been agreed. The Climate Change legislation in NI will include a separate target for methane. A very important change for NI livestock farming

[Farmers Journal NI @FJNorth]

Patsy McGlone confirms that the SDLP will support Amendment No. 1 to the climate change bill which effectively sets a separate target for methane. Good news for livestock farmers in NI

With a climate change bill nearing completion at Stormont, it is vital that farmers understand what is being proposed, what will be expected, and the wider implications on the agri-food sector in NI.
Join us on Wednesday at our NI Climate Change Summit in Cookstown.

Have read a few times now about people being "astonished" that the agri media have failed to pick up on the DAERA proposal to increase minimum claim size for area payments to 10ha. We are all useless obviously. Three examples of where it is mentioned below
