Very thought provoking day spent at the @ScotAgCoOp conference, 4 excellent speakers tackling the subjects of Net-Zero and Conservation Ag. Summed up nicely by final speaker @PaulWoldfarm 'change will only happen if you WANT it to happen!'
He should face some backlash! Why is #agriculture not allowed to make profit when it’s widely regarded as key to success in other sectors? If farmers don’t start making profit we won’t have an Agricultural Industry in the UK in a few years!
We are about to enter the most uncertain year for potatoes ever. Less will be grown. The seed sector will contract with implications for ‘24. One of the cheapest staple foods risks disrupted supply.
Few will appreciate this until it is to late, including the minister for food.
During the interval we are sharing memories of the famous Karachi 2000 win in the dark with @nassercricket & @Athersmike.

Some retailers blame bird flu.
That’s “rubbish” some farmers tell me - supermarkets won’t pay them a fair price so they have reduced production.
Either way, no omelettes for tea 🍳

Not sure @asda reasoning for 🥚 shortage on news @BBCRadio2 this morning is all due to AI. Producers going out of business because the retailers refuse to pay a fair price for our 🥚.
