Clarkson chaos 👍

Wonderful visit to @LDF_fun_farm Lower Drayton Farm, Staffs to see the fabulous tulip fields.
@rich_bower, a former student of mine @HarperAdamsUni has shown how diversification can help farm income and provide a great local attraction. Lovely to also see Richard on TV. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@Wildlifehunter @LDF_fun_farm @HarperAdamsUni Thank you so much Nicky, really good to see you both and thanks for your support.
You were very influential on my journey so far 🙏

Spending my 20’s working for the amazing @CobreyFarms learning from @Johnchinn3 @henrychinn & Chris, was invaluable experience, that is now paying off at our family farm @LDF_fun_farm

@Bob_in_Wales The Penkridge litter pickers are awesome and often picking up litter in the area. 👍

@BenAdamsAgri Just the one empty wine 🍷 bottle 🍾 someone must have thrown out of the window while driving at 40mph 🚗

This is why farming families are so worried about the #FamilyFarmTax 👇

Last week, farmers up and down the country were explaining the devastating impact of the family farm tax on their lives.

Will the government listen to them and consider our calls?

Celebrating 5 years of Play@ @LDF_fun_farm today.

It took 5 years before that point to get planning permission and build it.

Thanks to everyone who has and continues to support us.

Lots more crazy ideas to come 🤩

Rain stopped combining today 🌧️
Had 600 visitors @LDF_fun_farm to see the animals & have a foam party 🥳

Thank you @beverleyturner . @Keir_Starmer says IHT bill will be only 2% annually for 10 years. His pathway to profitability is around a quarter of this if you were to trust him. Sky say the tax will be 150% of farm income. Forcing farmers to sell land.
