From today's #DailyNewsDigest📰: "The study highlights the potential loss of up to 23% of current farmland due to competing demands for housing, solar energy, tree planting, biodiversity restoration and carbon sequestration." – @FarmingUK

Anyone know where i could get some heritage wheat seed?

Your periodic reminder that a cow cannot add a single atom of carbon to the atmosphere that wasn't previously removed from the atmosphere by a plant.

So, cows cannot increase atmospheric CO2, they merely recycle CO2. It's not a new source of carbon.

And without cows, bacteria would, over time, rot plant fibers and return the exact same amount of carbon to the atmosphere.

But grazing cows help grass sod fix carbon in the soil, thus increasing soil fertility over time.

The climate crusade is built on scientific fraud.

And many of the proposed solutions, like reducing cows, are directly causing much of the soil degradation and forest fires (because of ungrazed fuel in the forests), which activists and dishonest scientists then blame on "climate change".

🚜FARMAGEDDON🌾
The story of what's REALLY going on in farming. A story far more complex than the conventional wisdom.
This isn't just (or even mainly) about inheritance tax. It's about a cascade of challenges & crises that may ultimately threaten food security.

@FarmersGuardian Because thats where Britains food will soon be coming from??

[Tom Allen-Stevens @tomallenstevens]

So I’ve read the Hansard account of the debate and have a few comments 🧵

Firstly, the 5bn over 2yrs @RachelReevesMP has allocated is not “the biggest budget for food production and nature recovery in UK history”.

In real terms it is the smallest

Labour’s war on farmers continues….

Last night, Farming Minister Daniel Zeichner claimed farmers are secretly telling him Labour are ‘right’ about their Family Farm Tax.

Complete Nonsense.

Here’s what farmers actually said👇

@AdrianRamsay @GaryLineker Hi Adrian Is there any chance you could comment on the impacts on farmers and suppliers of ancillary agricultural services caused by the budget please? After all your constituency has 97% of its landmass dedicated to agriculture and 0% to professional football.

[William Haire @williamrhaire]

@jasonmauck1 Do you plant both crops at the same time?

[William Haire @williamrhaire]

@BoycefieldFarm Im really wondering why we do it. The risk isn’t worth the reward and I dont mean the cash bit. The joy, fun and satisfaction is disappearing. It makes more sense to milk the system than farm the land which Im struggling to accept.

[William Haire @williamrhaire]

Its nice to work with hassle free people. Some @easton_college Mascani oats set off this week for milling through @ADMAgriculture. Thank you @Pxfarms @PXFarmsHaulage. Smart trucks, courteous, helpful and friendly drivers. Think I surprised them we could fit 29t of oats on!

[Pasture For Life @PastureForLife]

We need to stop judging food and its associated carbon footprint by the kilo and by the calorie, and do it by its nutritional value instead. Michael Lee @ORFC this morning discussing the incredible nutritional value of animal-based foods. 👏

@rawlimark There could be a lego re-enactment here to capture the moment.

Last minute reminder. Tonight we are re-launching the Norfolk branch of the @IAgrM at @easton_college 7.00pm in the sports centre. Alas Im speaking about managing a college estate. If you are Norfolk way and would like to join us drop me a Dm.

[William Haire @williamrhaire]

After a break of some years the Norfolk branch of the @IAgrM is back. Our first meeting is the 31st October at @easton_college where yours truly will be talking about the challenges of managing a college estate. Members and non (maybe potential!) members welcome. Dm me for info

[William Haire @williamrhaire]

@BourgaultVos @BBCNews And here was me thinking there were just too many people on the planet.

[William Haire @williamrhaire]

@JohnDeere Thanks. How should the file be named? How do you include client/farm/field detail or do you need to?

[William Haire @williamrhaire]

Can anyone help? What sort of magic do i need to import a shp or kml field into @johndeere operations centre?
