I hope Will’s sheep raises a fortune for this cause - and I suspect it will

Our thoughts and prayers are all with the Pedley family, who are good people and handling this tragedy with enormous grace

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

@herdyshepherd1 Some horrendous examples of down right dishonesty. It shouldn’t be happening and is wrong.

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

An actual deadline would be better IMO. A lot of applicants will be left hanging still.

[National Farmers' Union @NFUtweets]

Defra has today announced that the Capital Grants scheme budget is now fully allocated, following an earlier update to say around 75% of the funding had been allocated.

@KoroTeeps Shoulder direct to the head. Morgan hit his back🤷‍♂️

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

@Seb_Parker Totally different. He led with his arm/shoulder to his head and the Scotland player wasn’t in a position to go for the ball

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

@KapilaSandy Thanks for your help in any difficult cases I brought forward. It was appreciated.

@PlanetRugby Why didn’t he start last week ?

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

@theladyfarmer It’s pretty grim 😔

@TheFarmingForum @Minette_Batters @NFUtweets @SteveReedMP Doesn’t the farm business survey do this? It shows without support many will go struggle to run a viable business unless prices increase to replace it. They have increased, yes, but need to increase further. This will take time and some don’t have that!

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

@VictoriaAtkins For me the biggest issue at the moment isn’t the IHT it’s the removal of support and move to expecting a market that isn’t providing an adequate return to replace that income as well as expecting business people to plan cash flow with constant removal of schemes.

@CrosseMichael We did shed rearing on the ewe last year and I didn’t like it. Ewes didn’t keep condition, a lot of feed and seemed crazy keeping them in with grass growing outside. A lot of cross suckling as well when inside. Still finding what works 🙈

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

Doing things a little different this year. Lambs left on ewes on the herbal leys to rear lambs before milking. Cutting feed and labour costs . A much more enjoyable system, well in this weather at least 👍 #sheepmilk #sheepscheese

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

@CrosseMichael 👍 How long do you leave them on for with you? I’ve done various systems but matching grass growth here means we are late lambing and reducing lactation length. Taking them off is boom or bust surely letting them rear lambs is more resilient in the long term.

[Alistair Carmichael MP @amcarmichaelMP]

Part of my exchanges with the Food Security minister Daniel Zeichner at the EFRA Committee this morning - focusing on the closure of the Sustainable Farming Incentive last month without any warning.

[James Hadwin @jameshadwin]

Crazy. There’s is no explanation re the pulling of SFI and the fact 6 weeks notice wasn’t given other than it was a lie and mis led people. What’s happening here? 🤷‍♂️

[Ralph Blackburn @RalphBlackburn]

'What farmers were told just wasn't true' - Farming Minister Daniel Zeichner and Defra officials are grilled by MPs on the sudden closure of the SFI scheme. It gets very awkward in this clip.

[Ally Hunter Blair @Wyefarm]

Janet & Sandy have been the best thing to come out of the RPA for years. Knowledgeable, approachable & always keen to try and help as best they can. Attempting to throw them & their colleagues under the bus for this ministerial decision is low. Very low.
