I’ve spent today with North Shropshire Farmers, frustration all round that the NFM funding on offer doesn’t reward the true value of services delivered by farmland @nfumidlands @ShropsWildlife

[Ed Straw @EdStrawBio]

Should glyphosate be banned in the EU? I figure before whatever decision is made I should put my voice on the record one way or another.

To me, this is two questions:
1) Is it toxic enough to humans to ban?
2) Is it toxic enough to bees to ban?

Let's discuss them both! 1/10

@palebd @ShropClimate There is a disconnect between what we the consumers say we are happy to buy & what we actually pick up from the shelf. I used to work for a produce supplier and the fact is Scruffy, slightly blemished spuds & onions get left behind - consumers need to change

The next round of Defra productivity grants. Some very useful items included (e.g direct drills, weeders, slurry injection/storage, heat detection and water management.) Something for most #farms if you were already planning on some capital expenditure. https://t.co/KATMbrimBD
