When the weed control doesn't go to plan, out come the big guns @garfordrobocrop hoe doing a great job. Using @jjmandson tungsten hoe blades, which are worth every penny, lasted me several years now.

Just how thin are profit margins for British farmers? @HenryRiley1 speaks to Harry Middleditch as he prepares to head to London for the inheritance tax protest.

On the @Carresas strip tilled land this morning, drilling beet for @BritishSugar with the @toucan_farm NG Plus M doing a great job as usually. @NFUSugar @BBRO_Beet

Maintaining so ditches and now spreading the dirt out, before and after with the @Rhinoxbuckets land rake, brilliant for this job, best investment I made for this digger

You might not have a former WW2 airfield on your farm but your parents/grandparents would have seen if not heard the departure and return of the Mighty Eighth's 760th Christmas Eve mission. The best immersive 45 mins you can spend today 🙏🏻 @johanntasker mighty8thpodcast.com/episodes/every…

This page in Tremendous Tractors is just all sorts of wrong. 🤦‍♂️

There’s a bit of NFU naysaying flying around but I’ve just left an hour and half teams meeting from @NFUSugar with 570 growers on (1/3rd growers) called 24 hours ago The collective strengthen and professionalism shown ought to curd any doubt that we are better working together

@bencm305 Hi, yes as others have said, I have a 17ha field that I stripped in the autumn, hope to drill it Thursday, DM me if your interested to come see, just a few mile outside of Sudbury.

Is anyone strip tilling some sugar beet that I could come have a look at possibly this week please? Suffolk, Norfolk.

Over winter cover crops #SFI in prep for sugar beet seem to have done a job for us despite the late drilling due to the hot dry summer. @BBRO_Beet @BritishSugar

Soil sampling on a Wildfarmed milling wheat fields planted into strips. Heading back to run the samples through our microscope. Looking forward to the results.

@ChrisWh83363472 @HorizonAgri @BritishSugar @NFUSugar Drill infront of the strip till then the beans go in at same time as strip till 👍

@AHogsbjerg @HorizonAgri @BritishSugar @NFUSugar How are you establishing the covers between the rows? Drilled or Broadcast? On the strip-till ?

The future of Sugar Beet cultivations? If I can make it work, the long term plan would be to grow cover crops between the strips and leave the strips open the elements over winter. @HorizonAgri @BritishSugar @NFUSugar

@ChrisWh83363472 @HorizonAgri @BritishSugar @NFUSugar Takes some trial and error, good luck we have been doing it now with covers in-between the row and in the row variable results getting there with it now though we think 🤞

@cutlerstom @mikewporter @SuffolkFire @ECFRS So I was told by our local fire cheif 👍 best to check

@AHogsbjerg @mikewporter @SuffolkFire @ECFRS Is the female instantaneous the one to go for then Aaron?

After loosing the combine and helping a neighbour with a fast spreading field fire we have recognised that the appliances only hold 1500lts so we have brought an adaptor to refill the engines on site in remote locations where water isn't on tap for them @SuffolkFire @ECFRS 👍

@cutlerstom @mikewporter @SuffolkFire @ECFRS They have a 12000lt bowser but with so many fires this summer it couldn't be everywhere at once

@AHogsbjerg @mikewporter @SuffolkFire @ECFRS There were a couple of fire appliances here last week running around with 9000litres on board taking water to pumps to top up. Are they not able to suck out of the top of a sprayer tank or bowser in an emergency? I’m sure the coupling is better, but could it be done without?

@Markmid1 @SuffolkFire @ECFRS Ebay ebay.co.uk/itm/1854995545…

@AHogsbjerg @SuffolkFire @ECFRS Where do you get them from ?

@mikewporter @SuffolkFire @ECFRS I guess because we aren't set up in this country for these events and also there's only so much extra stuff these appliances can carry. Normally they have hydrants in the streets to tap in to but not in field situations durring the hot summer 🤷

@AHogsbjerg @SuffolkFire @ECFRS But why don’t all fire appliances have these adapters as standard on each vehicle rather than every farm needing to have one?

@TommyBridge3 @SuffolkFire @ECFRS Ok, that's just what the guys told us 👍👍

@RTKfarmer @SuffolkFire @ECFRS I know, we only lost 2 acres of standing crop on a fairly windy day thanks to having the bowser on hand with a splash plate to wet the crop to stop the fire spread worked really well. The appliances struggle in wild fire imsituations a bit as they have to stop to use the pump 🤔

@AHogsbjerg @SuffolkFire @ECFRS That’s a very sad sight😕
