@DrJennaRoss @NuffieldFarming @PandJLive Sounds awesome unfortunately diary clash would have liked to been there,especially as it’s in the North east.

@wjtwheatrig @Gav_S_Harper Almost like they have no money to recruit someone new. 🤔

@Gav_S_Harper Best we can hope for is 2 years of treading water. A wasted opportunity by SRU

Gregor Townsend has signed a new contract and will lead Scotland to the 2027 Rugby World Cup

@GreenknoweFarm @CaptSpringbok Fell more like. 🙈 Hope harvest going well. Currently finishing rape. Hardly any needing dried. 😎

@MarkmccMark @CaptSpringbok Your team or their's, seems fair😆 did you dive into the corner many times, Mark?

The easiest way to know if something’s legal in Test rugby? Let the Springboks do it. If the ref says play on, it’s legal. If he blows it up, it’s not. Simple. And if he doesn’t blow it up but the play’s even slightly questionable, you can bet World Rugby will amend the laws the following week. Guaranteed, if a Bok jumped over a player to score or hit a BIL player like Morgan hit Tizzano, it’d be no try and a card. Every time.

@GreenknoweFarm @CaptSpringbok Depends who they are. 😜

@CaptSpringbok Would you stop wingers from diving into the corner avoiding going into touch and the tackle?

@HNM_WClark Castle tavern?😋

Beer gardens in the right circumstances are one of life’s great pleasures. And Inverness has some absolute beauts.

@GreenknoweFarm @ValtraOficial @NFUStweets @mydirectdriller @CLAAS_UK @ValtraGlobal My winter barley tested low. Although it is a feed variety. Tardis. Yields variable. Does it mean didn’t pick up last N. Or I didn’t feed it enough. 🤷‍♂️

What a weekend. Cutting barley at 13.6% and a perfect harvest day. All baled up now, too. Even made 600 little bales. Mixed yield. Barley is testing high on nitrogen, still to hear if that's all over or just me🫣 @ValtraOficial @NFUStweets @mydirectdriller #barley #harvest25

@ScotAgCoOp Winter barley all done and dusted up here on #blackisle earliest for a good while.

The jury's still out on whether this will be the earliest harvest we can all remember at Scottish Agronomy. If the weather co-operates, Douglas is hoping to start cutting in the Borders on 16th this year. When is the earliest harvest you remember? Will this year be earlier still?

@calum_mciver In large quantities 😜😂

@MarkmccMark Didn’t think St Martins did feed?

Don’t remember starting this early before,Tardis seems to be yielding fine. #blackisle

@calum_mciver Decent enough. Feed barley. Dry which is good. 😎

@MarkmccMark What likes the sample? 🤔

Helping out @TheRHET day at the Black Isle show ground. Great to see so many kids getting a free day out to see where and how their food comes from.

@Portlad @vaderbogger @bairdsmalt @DiageoGB @boortmalt @Springbank1828 Also finished drilling today. Into some quite dry seed beds. 🙈

@vaderbogger @bairdsmalt @DiageoGB @boortmalt @Springbank1828 Finished our sowing this week with #Maronis, a full month earlier than last year.

Last of the #Laureate Spring Barley sown up. Hopefully it will make it for malting at #HighlandGrain and on to great things for @bairdsmalt @DiageoGB @boortmalt @Springbank1828. Hoping the price is as good as of late. Never sown in such #dry #lumpy conditions. #Familyfarm
