30 years ago today, my dad passed away in his prime from heart and renal problems. He was 47. Mum, my brother and I would have been left in a big muddle if APR/BPR wasn’t in operation then, my family would’ve been stung with an IHT bill at the worst time you could wish for. 1/3

@BritishSugar Sharing offers not agreed by @NFUSugar is undermining the price negotiation process and the NFU sugar board that were elected by growers to represent them in this monopoly marketplace!

@WTSarge @TWBFarms @NFUtweets @RedTractorFood @ChristineTacon But they soon add in more asks+standards and processors/ retailers will favour GFC without paying for it, making it become the baseline for UK market access, for free! Environmental not red tractors remit. UK already has @LEAF_Farming

@RichMMeredith @ResearchDF @DysonFarming @UoLNCFM @unilincoln Hi Richard, why the focus on pulses? Aren’t they pretty sustainable already I.e no N ?… Or is it about boosting the yields so farmers want to grow more to replace Soya ?

@NHTractordriver @JoeWStanley Agreed so why is maritime cliffs and slopes on there or sand dunes??.. Surely people won’t be creating those? 🤔

[Sam Ward 🇺🇦 @samward99]

@cricketandcrops @adasYEN Nightmare phil, if it makes you feel any better we have some winter barley still out there getting wet and a lot of ears on the floor 😞

Late Harvesting OSR Friday to beat the rain, unfortunately it beat us and today is a wash out in North Lincs ☔️ 😞

[Sam Ward 🇺🇦 @samward99]

@JoeWStanley Also what is the obsession with water of the @BBCNews ? Volume of water is not a problem in the UK.

Drawing some parallels between UK Pig sector problems and US farms who have already been where we are, hopefully @defra @NatPigAssoc @NFUtweets supply chain review can protect Supply Chain Diversity /competition.
