Farmer in southern england. Crops & pasture fed cows, #zerotill, cover crops and #mobgrazing to regenerate #SoilHealth #mixedfarming

[Richard Negus @TrooperSnooks]

@jdpoc It would be quite an achievement for a farmer to buy British fertiliser, largely because our production is zero. The last remaining plant at Billingham shut in 2023. I hope that helps you?

@HighFarndale @fleroy1974 Great to see 👍

Looks like the party’s in the back of my truck whilst I have been collecting eggs this morning!

Come and join us, THIS SUNDAY and see the hens for yourself, or just come to our little honesty farm shop at Wexcombe Farm

About 150 young people who met through Cumbria Young Farmers coming together at the weekend on our farm- after the announcement that the government is stopping funding to Young Farmers clubs.
These clubs help people who live in isolated areas socialise and learn new skills. 🤷‍♀️

To sow, or not to sow… that is the question!
Is there moisture in the soil? (no) Is there rain in the forecast? (No?!) Will it grow in the bag? (No) So do we drill our Oilseed rape now or wait?
I’m hedging my bets & putting 1/3 in now and praying we catch a thunderstorm

[George Hosier @farmingfred]

@angusgowthorpe All cereals, peas and linseed

[George Hosier @farmingfred]

Oilseed rape and Winter Barley done. Onto the wheat by the end of this week #harvest

[Graham Denny @GrahamDenny9]

I hope @labour are proud of their misinformed MPs that are driving Farmers to take their own lives . Get the facts right your just killing family farms so land investors can profit and fund Labour Party ! @Jes_Squirrell @agricontract @ProagriLtd @NoFarmsNoFoods @NFFNUK

[England Rugby Schools @EngRugbySchools]

We heard from Henry Taylor, Captain, POTM Tom Campbell and Marcus Olsen Head of Rugby at @DauntseysSchool.

Apologies I called Henry, Will!

Great performance.

Rather begs the question as to what @SteveReedMP thinks is to be gained from levying a massive tax liability on businesses which haven’t been profitable for a ‘very long time’.

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

The really mad thing about the politics of farming, environment and food is that as you get nearer the pinnacle you meet people that seem to have power to change it

But they tell you that they have NO power to change it - that everything is decided by the Treasury

[David Miller @fowell103]

New year, new venture. Any reposts greatly appreciated.

[Anna Longthorp @AnnaLongthorp]

Made front page after yesterday’s #tractorrun #york
But this headline should send shivers down everybody’s spine no matter which side of the #FamilyFarmTax debate you are on.
A policy with such devastating unintended consequences HAS to be revised

[Sam Evans @aSamEvans]

Another day of what-ifs after accountant meeting.

Investment plans of £130k shelved

What do we do?

Dads ill, mums old. Can’t get insurance on Dad. Potentially means in the next 10yrs will be out as won’t be able to afford IHT amount.

Mental hit is huge! 😞

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

A sea of tractors!🇬🇧

Notice was given, the roads were closed and traffic diverted for this peaceful protest, everyone involved did a brilliant job getting there message across.

Hopefully the government was listening.

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

And the absolute F cheek of pretending that paying for better farming is somehow in competition with paying for nurses and the NHS is ridiculous

Nurses and good farmers are BOTH investments in public health

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

Our lack of care for farming and food systems in the U.K. is a national disgrace and on a scale that staggers belief

This shows the % of ultra processed food we eat - people are right to reject angrily the further degradation of our foods

Good farming matters
Real food matters

[Dave Throup @DaveThroup]

Government handling of this is a shambles, and is going to derail progress that was starting to be made on nature recovery at scale.

Vast majority of nature restoration will have to be done on privately owned farmland, and farmers need paying to do it.

Why should farmers get inheritance tax breaks? Here is my take on it. @UKLabour you need to stop hiding behind your flawed figures, if you only want to hit 27% of farmers then make the changes! #stopthefamilyfarmtax
