We can lift your beet and drill your wheat #farm365 #harvest17 #harvest18 Give me call

US wheat crop! facebook.com/share/v/1LAbB7…

Uk chancellor needs to listen. facebook.com/share/r/18RE3M…

Nov26 and Nov27 wheat futures are £2 apart 27 fertiliser is currently £300/tonne higher than harvest 26 was!

It’s time we stopped taking what’s offered and started offering to sell at what’s needed

Currently available Feed Wheat at £400/ tonne ex farm Purchase now before the shortages

@grumpyfairmer Perhaps we could do some swaps

@ukeastcoast At least you’ve got soil!!! Cotswold brash here is 5” topsoil if you can call it the then limestone

Soil profile pit #beccles series clay. Now tell me it’s boys land

@sussexfarming This is exactly why the CAP worked Food prices are kept low to enable good quality food to all

I think farming can do better than this!? Does this policy mean milk, beef and lamb also double and become completely unaffordable to the genuine poor in society. Nigel Farage’s farming adviser calls for wheat prices to double | Farming | The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…

@ag_recruiter That’s a large spill! Nicely cut before we notice 😂

If you're in #norfolk or a #farmer please share

BREAKING: Trump just attacked NATO and then goes on to say that "25 years ago" he said that NATO was a "Paper tiger" and that "they would never come to our rescue". FACT: 25 years ago was March 26, 2001. Less than 6 months after that, on September 12, 2001, NATO invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty for the first and only time ever. They lost 1100 soldiers fighting for us. Trump is a Moron.

Wheat!

This is now the daily spend. The local garage was out of fuel so needed to drive 20 minutes in order to wait 30mins. If your haulage rates are going up don’t ask!!

Lorries queue for fuel!!!

If fertiliser is traded above £600 why is wheat not above £400? I for one will not plant wheat at £180? If fert is £600+

Yep! facebook.com/share/r/1Dfit2….

@cutlerstom @ArableSam With sugar beet it’s North of 15t/ha

@ukeastcoast @ArableSam I’ll be able to measure the difference this year. We ploughed a bad blackgrass field in early September.

Worms have been busy. But the sheep have left this field ex cover crop very wet ontop, which is not the result I was hoping for.

@cutlerstom @ArableSam Plough in September for maximum benefit to Clay

@ArableSam Long term benefits from soil health. Introduce livestock, recycle nutrients, increase biological activity. But in the cold reality it’s a step backwards from just covers, which is a productivity step backwards from overwinter plough 😬. Someone needs to pay more…..

@JLEEWALLS1 @HealthRanger And bring back malnutrition and starvation too Good luck

@HealthRanger orrrrr just work WITH nature instead big ag aint it, we need to bring back victory gardens and support local farmers who practice regenerative/permaculture

Turns out that you can kill weeds without using toxic chemicals that saturate the crops. Lasers and cameras, folks... this is the future of clean(er) food.

@HealthRanger Yes, and no. Work out the energy per weed required for this, you might regret the environmental impact if more coal is needed to do this

@KellyLMcCarty This is typical social media you’re misinformed and focusing on partly the wrong thing. The environmental cost per weed controlled is a fraction of that using glyphosate compared to “lasers”. Use your brain and think how much energy is being used to control one weed with a laser!

We don’t need glyphosate to kill pests. Lasers can kill pests without a pesticide.✨ Why not promote this instead?
