@tenantfarmers @Ansavalley Good response

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@Pxfarms To get an idea of scale, how many acres of wheat did that lot plant?

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@Pxfarms Still have our 2005 855 from new, yellow paint just starting to fade.

@FredVLarsen @OOOfarmer Top tips for brome weed control please

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@TheHillsCountry @vodafone Really poor and now getting concerning approaching harvest @FarmersWeekly @NFUtweets @VodafoneUK

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@louisearable @FarmersWeekly 21 days between sprays not applicable this year, more like 12 day cycle we are seeing.

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@cutlerstom Looks great. Be interesting to have a fungicide applied strip, always seems to bring disease 'out'? How do you sort seed royalties?

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@LewisLudlow94 @jam_rugby @gloucesterrugby Love your support for the whole squad.

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@sizov_andre The reduced production is not just weather related, yet every time the price goes up everyone talks of weather market. This leads to a lack of understanding to why a shortfall may exist.

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@sizov_andre That depends who collates the wheat stocks. I'm the only person who knows how much grain I do or don't have on farm, simple.

@kenyanpigfarmer Boar taint to me comes in the form of a smell when cooking and serving up. We did find Duroc progeny didn't exhibit it to a noticeable level.

@essexpeasant @FWphilclarke @FarmersWeekly @NFUtweets @tenantfarmers @CLAtweets @DefraGovUK Or acknowledge that food production also has wildlife and habitat benefits, alongside producing 'food'.

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@kenyanpigfarmer Hope it goes well. I started farming in 1989 with 30 gilts rearing outside on some land rented to me by a trusting landowner.

@SteveBarclay @ProagriLtd @NFUtweets Did you ask him how many Actual Farmers he represents @SteveBarclay ? He doesn't represent our three generation tenant farm. Come and visit anytime.

@TWBFarms @Ruralpay @KapilaSandy @JanetHughes Also had a very fast turnaround, thanks @Ruralpay @JanetHughes

[Colin Harris @pennyswick]

@LouisReesZammit @NFLUK Good luck with your dreams and have fun. Hope you return to Gloucester one day....as fullback.

@FWAbiKay Great work @FWAbiKay faith has been restored in our journalists to seek the truth and not be worried about their commercial ties and advertising income. Off to renew my subscription to Farmers Weekly📙🚜

@BBeazley1 Often find the vigour of purchased seed is poor, maybe as much to do with post harvest drying?
