@markrwilliamson The water table in our part of Cambridgeshire is the highest it’s been in living memory. Dry ditches have been full for 2 years. Would love to understand the metrics used to calculate EA drought reporting. We have had three incredibly wet winters on the trot.

@DanPBrown @BritishSugar I was told by my 75 yo Father that he has never written a beet crop off through drought. A very resilient crop apparently. Ours looks the same if not worse

@clintwfischer @Ck27126422 Have a look at what the British government are doing to farmers over the pond

@bencm305 Welcome to use our shoot room at Newton

@StuartMaggs I met with him last week. He wasn’t willing to listen unfortunately. We the farmers are wrong and the treasury are correct. His words were ‘it’s here to stay’.

In other news, just had one of the most enjoyable days Shooting I’ve ever had. Good birds, good company, excellent hosting! @george_hurrell 👍

[Newton Farms @george_hurrell]

@markrwilliamson very similar feelings with East West Rail

[Newton Farms @george_hurrell]

@markrwilliamson It won’t affect the big estates either which are already in trust. Just the working family farms. Gov giving £500m a year in foreign ag aid. British ag is at its lowest point with trust in the gov obliterated.

[Newton Farms @george_hurrell]

@Wilkster_ @PhilLatham Same advice here. Now have a father unlikely to make the 7 years

@markrwilliamson There are another 2 stuck in the fields between newton & Thriplow

@eddcoles Bright sun and an awkward northerly. Getting the excuses in early.

[Newton Farms @george_hurrell]

@cattlefinishers Have now read that. Sounds unnecessary

[Newton Farms @george_hurrell]

@cattlefinishers To be fair I thought they were going to be an issue but we have been using them for a couple of years now. It takes human error out of it IMO. I fill them out online, print them, nothing for shovel driver to have to do

@ProagriLtd @gjrenner @driverfarms1 Christ Tom, it’s getting very hard to defend the NFU let alone Red Tractor. Your a succseful, diversified farmer who understands business. Surely you can see how out of control this has become

[Newton Farms @george_hurrell]

@driverfarms1 @grain_chat @Longwool @FWAbiKay @FarmersWeekly Our parents certainly had the cream out of ag. We should be willing to put our head above the parapet to represent the future of our industry but I don’t feel welcome with current farming organisations or political parties
