If you haven't had a pee behind a tractor tyre only a few feet away from where your about to sit and have a flask of tea and a sandwich brought out to the field by a relative in a supermarket carrier bag without washing your hands then are you even a farmer?

How strange - isn’t this the same guy who said the UK had no power to do any of these things in the EU and that’s why we had to leave.

I'm hearing on very good authority that the World Record Spring Barley Yield has (unofficially) been broken by a farm here in Kenya! (it stood at 10.47t/ha)

WHY ON EARTH do we talk ourselves into food crises and mythical droughts in Kenya?

A large bag of #spinach contains the same iron content as a 4oz #steak. However the haem #iron in #meat has much higher bioavailability i.e 20% absorption v's only 1.7% of the non haem iron of green veg #anaemia

Not sure who briefs PI but this is it in a nutshell. BPS was always diminishing, but if we become a global dumping ground the industry is in big big trouble.

32 days to Brexit. Incomprehensible and shameful that we should be where we are. “So they go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all powerful to be impotent” (WSC, Nov 1936).

#London cabbie: ‘What do you do then?’

Me: ‘Farmer.’

Him: ‘Bo**ocks are you.’

Me: ‘Oh. Why so?’

Him: ‘The suit; accent; hair.’

Me: ‘Hmm. Here’s my card?’

Him: ‘Doesn’t prove anything.’

*Show him farmer hands*

Him: ‘Fair enough mate. So how big’s your tractor? 🚜

"The smart harvest market is estimated at USD 9 billion in 2018 and projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.81%, to reach USD 15.6 billion by 2023." From my work, I am seeing that, globally, farmers can no longer rely on cheap immigrant…https://t.co/KGQgs2raB5 https://t.co/M94pW1veg0

Hurtling home from NATO ,across what were the blood soaked Battlefields of the First World War,I fear that we take for granted the unbroken peace in which we have lived,and have become forgetful of our History and casual, even reckless with our Democracy#neverforget

@ChrisGPackham @NFUtweets Chris, myself and @ProagriLtd would happily meet up with you to go through the scores of safety reviews on glyphosate to explain why we think it’s safe for humans and insects and how it actually delivers environmental benefits such as better soil management and reduction of GHGs.
