@herdyshepherd1 Totally agree James. Daughter learning the art of pH soil testing today. Some of her first steps into the world of Agronomy.

@Sally4Green We finally finished this year’s planting last night. Planters put away until March 2025 thankfully!! 🤞🍻🍻

@mertounfarms Stunning location Jack but must be a bit brutal when the South Westerly’s are blowing!

Beautiful day for the Western Area Ploughing Match at St Levan, West Cornwall today. Some very tidy starts & excellent finishes across all the classes. The Produce show was very well supported & the sunshine brought plenty of spectators as well for a cracking day all round.

On #BackBritishFarmingDay a reminder that farmers grow our crops in partnership with nature. Here we have planted companion crops alongside our Kale to encourage beneficial insects into our fields to reduce the use of pesticides.

All systems go this morning trying to beat the rain. Winter Cauli going into a cracking seedbed on the North Cornwall coast, under threatening skies! #teamwork 🚜💨🥬🤞

@annabelhami11 My pleasure Annabel, was great to meet the Bee Edge Crew and show you a little bit of what we do. Thank you for bringing back the sunshine this afternoon and hope you enjoy the rest of your stay down here in Cornwall. Good luck tomorrow!😉

Delighted to welcome the 2008 ACABM @WCFAlumni to sunny Cornwall yesterday & show them around some of our crops, beautiful scenery & the story behind Cornish brassica here at @Riviera_Produce. Great group with the visit organised by my old colleague and friend @Longwool 🥦🥬🚜😎

@hammett_peter Love the number plate Peter!!😉

[Daniel Collins 〓〓 @teamcollins5]

Summer Cauliflower planting well on a beautiful Sunday morning. Made some great progress over the last few days as we attempt to get back on programme after such a late start.🥬🚜💨

[Daniel Collins 〓〓 @teamcollins5]

Finally a sunny morning! First of the Courgettes going in really well. These should be ready to harvest by early June.

[Daniel Collins 〓〓 @teamcollins5]

@hammett_peter @RoyalCornwall @VegPowerUK @Riviera_Produce Thanks Peter. Really enjoyable and rewarding day so far. Hopefully they’ll go away with a better understanding of all the hard work that goes into producing the food on their dinner table!

[Daniel Collins 〓〓 @teamcollins5]

All prepped and ready to go at the @RoyalCornwall Farm and Country Discovery Days where 100’s of primary school children from across Cornwall come and learn about farming, where their food comes from and how it’s grown. 🚜🥬🥦

@radioMelO @BBCCornwall Go easy on him tomorrow morning Mel, he’s out with the Praze young farmers tonight on their annual carol singing magical mystery tour!!

@ThrimbyFarms @thisfarmlife @OurCowMolly Trialled 2 yrs ago and pleasantly surprised by it. Couldn’t tell much difference v. diesel equivalent. Only reason we haven’t gone for 1 is the lack of methane fuel availability & infrastructure down here. It’s coming though, 6 council dairy farms installing the bennaman’s system

[Daniel Collins 〓〓 @teamcollins5]

@Wyefarm Not alot more though Ally, pleasantly surprised by the bar prices at the #ACABM23 2 weeks ago! Bar was pretty empty like that back then as well, apart from us mature students!! #jager #babyguinness🍻🤦‍♂️

[Daniel Collins 〓〓 @teamcollins5]

@Longwool Thanks Mike, I was a bit apprehensive beforehand but totally worth it and amazing to listen to some really impressive speakers from across the wider agri-food industry. #thereisaworldoutsideofcornwall 😉

[Daniel Collins 〓〓 @teamcollins5]

An amazing experience and I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to widen their knowledge, boost confidence and benefit from a new group of like minded friends who trust, support and encourage each other to develop their careers together. #ACABM23 👔
