@ThatWelshFarmer Surely got to be a little better with any other green shaded tractor?

@ThatWelshFarmer Rather disappointing comment from the Farming Minister at the Norfolk Farming Conference today confirming that farming is not very high on the governments ‘pecking order’

@HMRCcustomers I am a Barclays customer and unable to receive payments or transfer my tax monies. Could you please let me know where I stand RE late payment fines and interest payments @HMRCcustomers ?

Does anyone know if there is any Agri / Rural Business entrepreneur peer groups in East Anglia?

There must be loads of cool people starting up / establishing their own businesses in the rural space in East Anglia. I want to spend more time with these people, chatting about our experiences, frustrations and successes!

If there isn't such a thing, I will look to get one going. Catching up over a big table and some coffees and food, once or twice a quarter - nothing fancy!

@toryl Any ideas?

[Emma Powlett @EmmaPowlett]

This is a great a start to finding out what the Rural England Prosperity Grant Scheme is funding & where. It's an iterative document so do keep reviewing - hopefully other LAs will launch soon?! If yours isn't there do question them. @DefraGovUK @LGAcomms @CLAtweets @NFUtweets

We at ARC are all driven by supporting the #ruraleconomy. When we see injustice we call it out. Rural businesses & communities in Sth Norfolk are about be cheated out of grant opps, this is unfair. @DefraGovUK @CLAEast @NFUEastAnglia @SNorfolkCouncil https://t.co/6WCf9Mn2lS

[Emma Powlett @EmmaPowlett]

Call me old school but #REPF is specifically to fund #rural vol,comm orgs & micro,SMEs grow & improve local area NOT to build roundabout. Funding agreed by @BroadlandDC to use REPF. A clear misuse of public funds @DefraGovUK @NFUEastAnglia @CLAEast @EDP24 https://t.co/Q2hs0cd7Ml

@ThatWelshFarmer @bbc5live Appreciate that, the channels themselves do that job very well too

[Oscar Smith @o_lsmith]

@ThatWelshFarmer thank you for taking the time to address listeners on @bbc5live this morning! Hopefully kicks off a strong and well reasoned debate about food security and sustainable food pricing… not sure I heard a plug for the YouTube channel though?
