@TheAHDB @TAForum Congratulations to Liam, Carrie and the whole team for this fantastic piece of work.

Plough Sunday is always a big event in our village, with the plough being brought into the church and blessed. We also had local folk singers and dancers. With swathes of Nottinghamshire still under water today, we’re thinking of those who ‘work the soil’.

It's my last day at @TheAHDB . What a ride it's been!
Thank you to the brilliant AHDB team, to our many industry friends and partners and of course to levy payers. Wishing my successor Graham Wilkinson all the very best. #farming #agriculture #food

One hour of Friday night TV has provoked a whole weekend of reaction from farmers, and rightly so. Head of Media Relations @Phil_Maiden shares some of the inaccuracies we've included in our complaint to Ofcom following 'The Big British Beef Battle'.

[AHDB @TheAHDB]

UPDATE: AHDB has issued a complaint to OFCOM highlighting that the programme was incredibly biased against beef with very limited scientific evidence. There was undue focus on the global situation and the presenter's opinions against beef were too apparent and forthright. /1

[AHDB @TheAHDB]

We’re disappointed and concerned @channel4 and @zanlandfilms haven’t consulted us in the making of ‘The Big British Beef Battle’. As an evidence-based public body, we feel it’s important that shows like this represent all sides and not be selective to fit a certain narrative. /1

AHDB is absolutely clear that any review must be independent.
