Today’s lesson in the cost of farm inputs is Hybrid Oilseed Rape seed.
Yours for £28,089.88 per tonne 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@hertsfarming You know me too well 🤣🤣🤣

Well that’s a wrap for #harvest26
All straw bales and cleared obstacles awaiting customer collection. Not the highest yielding harvest but certainly the easiest 👍
Shall we roll the 🎲🎲 and do it all again next year?

@bleating_lamb Not by enough for back to back days on the Grouse moor 🤣

[Longwool @Longwool]

Harvest (cutting) wrapped up
In July which is unheard of for
us. No excuse now not to take a day on Grouse moor in August 👍

@ian_sands @ZackPolanski Spot on Ian 👍 policy increasing fuel load with no comprehension of the consequences.

@bleating_lamb @Advice_GrainUK @CharlesAnyan @MFRFurness The problem is often that the figures in the budget are picked to get the answer required. Trouble is nature doesn’t follow those rules. We’re all in the same boat.

[Longwool @Longwool]

@bleating_lamb @Advice_GrainUK @CharlesAnyan @MFRFurness Do you set your budget in spring or in the autumn pre planting? 😉

[Longwool @Longwool]

@dikesmarshfarm @loweroddfarm 🤞

[Longwool @Longwool]

It’s Cornwall. It’s wheat. Drying in progress 🤦‍♂️ #situationnormal #Harvest26

[Longwool @Longwool]

@bleating_lamb @Advice_GrainUK @CharlesAnyan @MFRFurness Perhaps the original budget was a tadge optimistic 😉

@loweroddfarm @dikesmarshfarm Hasn’t rained for a while but started to mizzle. The grains in the ears are very variable, some hard as flint sub 13% and some still soft. Seems to be a local problem, local contractor had 3 combines parked up yesterday as no one would cut. At £200/t better in the shed than field

[Longwool @Longwool]

@dikesmarshfarm No, that is today.

@richardpayne94 Pathetic isn’t it. As if 86p per week is going to solve someone’s cost of living crisis. It’s all smoke and mirrors and the money to be saved from Digital ID scheme hasn’t even been spent to save. Burnham must think we are all stupid. 🤦‍♂️

[Longwool @Longwool]

@richardpayne94 Wish we still had them here. Nothing but a childhood memory on this farm and the surrounding area sadly.

Moving cattle in this heat, the joys of TB testing 🤦‍♂️

After 11 years of exemplary service the Amazone UF1801 has been replaced with a UF2002. In my opinion the best mounted sprayers on the market. Is this the last new machine Masons Kings will supply? Such a shame they have given up the @Amazone agency, they have given great backup.

@herdyshepherd1 @Brownsvilleted It’s a government paper, are you surprised?
Anyway when it comes to agriculture and
The countryside this shower haven’t a Scooby Do 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👎😢😡

@JohnKneller @HarperAdamsUni @HAClub Most of those 10m were on the M5/M6 intersection this morning 😡 reckon I
lost 15 minutes there ☹️

[Longwool @Longwool]

Sub 4 hours Cornwall to @HarperAdamsUni for the @HAClub 125th Anniversary alumni lunch in the Porsche. Still not beaten the 3.5 hours in the Talbot Sunbeam 1.6 36 years ago 🤣🤣

[Longwool @Longwool]

@CoombeAdrian @HarperAdamsUni @HAClub Travelling at midnight?
Good effort, no cameras in those days just a “jam sandwhich”
