Arable farmer with vines on side growing up fast.

With @sencrop machines costing £400 and lasting only 5 years think I’m switching.

Any recommendations for a 4G weather station- only temp and rainfall?!

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

With no ☔️ in the forecast, input 💰 where they are, 🌱 prices not moving, is no one else 😱

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

@TWBFarms @wheat_daddy Would love to see fairness in the supply chain starting at the intake point which I think is more achievable.

The maltsters are full up so rejecting loads as and when they please which is costing farmers thousands of pounds on every rejection.

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

@FlowerdewBob @TWBFarms Bob your replies are comical. Beet plants are Rhizomania resistant and have been for 20 years.

There is no subsidy at all in the beet industry.

Sugar prices are based on a world market price.

Please don’t spread misinformation.

@timfarron 👏

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

English farmers are now the only farmers in the UK or Europe who are not financially supported in their primary mission to produce our food.

This is wrong.

In Parliament this morning, I asked the Secretary of State to put this right.

Sink holes opening up on the farm due to lack of rain? Showing all 20cm of soil depth!

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

In the same situation 😔. Environmental margins 💐in long term stewardship 🦉 along river Welland and hillsides near it providing nesting areas 🪺all due to be ploughed in January 26. Baffled.

[Jake Freestone @No1FarmerJake]

We’re in the same boat Tom, heard nothing from @Ruralpay on any hint of roll over, fallow plots for #lapwing, #skylark plots, rare arable flower margins, wild birds food mix, pollen and nectar etc- all under threat of going. 25years of stewardship 🤯

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

Not too sure about getting more yield with less inputs but currently getting more balloons than t/acre! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Joe Stanley @JoeWStanley]

The spin to end all spin.

@UKLabour celebrates the indefinite suspension of SFI - 8 years in development & the only means for farmers to replace lost EU payments.

This feels like scorched earth from Treasury.

Didn't she *accidentally* email her interview notes to Boris Johnson, leading to the cancellation of the interview? This year?

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

Thank you @LeeBarronMP for coming on farm and talking about the family farm tax and all things sugar beet.

Lots of positive comments. Let’s see what happens next.

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

Good on you Tom. I’ve cancelled my #sewageSludge order today as well. It’s not too late @LeeBarronMP

[Farmer Tom 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @Farmer_Tom_UK]

Just cancelled our #SewageSludge. To be honest, I don’t like letting anyone down, but I think it’s a better protest than blocking roads or upsetting the public. Maybe Sir Kier will smell the dissatisfaction with this stinky tax policy….

[No Farmers, No Food @NoFarmsNoFoods]

A brilliant visual explanation and analysis by farmer and No Farmers, No Food steering group member Charles Goadby @thisfarmlife (with farm Lego!) on the Labour government’s punishment (inheritance tax) on family farms. Please watch and share.

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

@OOOfarmer @Jes_Squirrell It’s not ‘a problem’ but the hard core right (racists/ let’s go back 50 years) will always be lurking in the shadows.

FPTP isn’t perfect, but it’s it’s the best way to keep UKIP/ BNP/ Reform from voicing lies and hatred.

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

Total own goal by @BASISRegLtd who have built up a good relationship with their members until this. Will have review if it’s worth me carrying on with membership. Shame.

[Jason Hendy @cereals_sw]

Such a pleasure to be told by a monopoly body such as @BASISRegLtd how happy I should be at a 35% increase in fee, funding aspects I never requested. Doubtless the levy payer will be equally delighted to ultimately pick up the tab… unjustifiable in tone, principle or practice

@Sarahbellagri @Jes_Squirrell @SarahPumfrett Nature is amazing!

In other news Stamford Fair is in town along with its flashing night lights 😆

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

@BBRO_Beet Hard to imagine the industry without his enthusiasm, knowledge and energy. Was a real pleasure knowing and learning from him. Thoughts are with you.

[Tim Beaver @thelostbeaver]

@JoeWStanley But in slightly damp conditions it’s ideal for putting the fertiliser spinner on this year. Now where’s my cheque book….
