Guy's news: Trouble in the Shires

Farming isn’t paying. In many areas, it hasn’t paid for years. Farmers have tightened their belts, drained their savings, borrowed, and sent their partners off the farm to work.

@DrJohnReade @ArableSam @tjcsimpson Would be very interesting to have guideline data for different crops e.g. field veg

[John Sansome @hawford_john]

@DrJohnReade @ArableSam @tjcsimpson For a mechanically lifted crop like potatoes the effect of weeds on the ease of harvesting is also an important consideration

[John Sansome @hawford_john]

@DrJohnReade @ArableSam @tjcsimpson Do you know of anything available for other crops?

This is not a supermarket code of conduct; it’s common decency. I’ve signed to petition our supermarkets (and anyone) to abide by these simple standards. ⁦@Riverford⁩

@No1FarmerJake @FavColour_Green Would love to Jake! Wife/boss (two different people..) would take some convincing though 😬

[Joe Stanley @JoeWStanley]

21 people killed on-farm since April.

11 killed in May alone; the most deadly month for 15 years.

The ‘statistics’ include three dead children under 2. One crushed by a wall, one drowned, one run over by a tractor.

‘But that’s the way it’s always been.’

@EwenMcEwen Hi Andy, what machine were you going to use for inter row mowing please?

[John Sansome @hawford_john]

@Tom_Clarke @bencm305 @Farmer_Tom_UK @toucan_farm We’re in a similar situation with fussy drills (salad onions/beetroot) but struggling to find anything off the shelf/readily available to adapt them

[John Sansome @hawford_john]

@Tom_Clarke @bencm305 @Farmer_Tom_UK Hi Tom, which drill do you use please?
