@FedExEurope waited at home all day for a package that was to be delivered by the end of the day - now it's telling me via the status updates that it wasn't delivered because customer was unavailable. I literally never left the house and my mobile is provided on the form.

Planning for the continuation of the #farm business should happen early, continue over time (things will change) and anticipate when and how management duties will transfer (e.g. training up the successor) #PeopleinDairy #familyfarming #farmtransfer #succession

[Teagasc @teagasc]

Many farmers say they will never retire, however you do not have to be retired to have a succession plan in place. There are many decent tax reliefs and benefits to encourage you to prepare a plan in good time. Read more in #TodaysFarm here https://t.co/2cEVQcT9uZ

@citizensinfo Covid Certificate hotline is not functioning - in choosing 2 from the menu, it 'transfers me to next available agent' and hangs up. It's happened 5 times in a row. Is there any other way to notify that my cert hasn't come? Received second vaccine end of June.

Did you know one of the easiest ways to improve safety on your farm is to tidy up your yard?

A tidy farm is a safer farm so make a plan and RETHINK RISK: https://t.co/sLQikElPBT #FarmSafetyWeek @H_S_E

Hi everyone. We are looking to recruit a Herd Manager. Retweets much appreciated. Thanks.

Farm safety doesn’t cost the earth – but not doing it could cost your life!

Changing your attitude to risk-taking doesn’t cost a penny so maybe you should RETHINK RISK.
