@atmahon You'll need a lot of geese to eat that lot.

[Henry Riley @henryshepherd]

@diggerdansmith That pretty much describes me.

[Henry Riley @henryshepherd]

@Pxfarms Why would you want to cut hedges in summer?

[Henry Riley @henryshepherd]

@lucymoosh The new way of life and living conditions more than anything make up for it. Just be sure the job is all it's supposed to be. A lot are not as good as they tell you. Ask to speak to previous employees is the biggest clue.

[Henry Riley @henryshepherd]

@lucymoosh I have lived away from my family for most of my life. Since my wife and I had our son we lived pretty close to my sister in law who was a huge help. We are now about 2 hours from both grandparents and 3+from siblings. It's tough. But with a good nursery place,

@bencm305 We had the same because he didn't have a nap. Sleep brings more sleep in this house. 13hours a day minimum and we have to wake him at 7 to get up in the mornings

@Greengaugenergy It might render it useless...

[Henry Riley @henryshepherd]

@Greengaugenergy Oh ffs. Didn't see that one.

@FarmersWeekly I have never 'come home' I left home, then became a farmer. A new entrant. Remember all those articles you write about new entrants and how had it is to get into the industry. And the ageing work force in farming. These polls dont help.

@turbotechdog @AdeAdepitan Not sure what your tweet proves. Looks like there is a lot of methane in livestock areas as well as urban? Kinda proves ades point?

[Api:Cultural @apiculturalLdn]

So far evidence for competition between managed honey bees & wild bees has always thought to be indirect competition for resources. Now evidence is emerging that in areas of high honey bee density & reduced flower availability honey bees are actually robbing wild bees of pollen.

@CockoftheBen They think every one is a good one.

@diggerdansmith @NuffieldFarming @cropwalkerchris @KennyLynn15 You'll smash it mate good luck. I want to hear all about it. Also drop in on your way home.

[Henry Riley @henryshepherd]

@SpudSlingsby @navaratnampart1 As a 'white Christian male' I would guess that you are very rarely in these situations, so much so that you can recall the individual incidences. If you are always the minority and always ignored or worse abused for your appearance then there is a big problem.

[Henry Riley @henryshepherd]

@Pxfarms I'm sure you will have a good laugh at this, but do you think the continuous cultivation of arable land has something to do with the ditches and drains being full of silt. In a relatively flat area, soil shouldn't really be washing into drains?

[Henry Riley @henryshepherd]

@diggerdansmith @NuffieldFarming @McDonaldsUK A great subject to study. Really important for new comers to the industry to be welcomed and included. I follows on from other reports on the subject really well. Looking forward to reading your report.
