Welsh Homestead

This is the view from our bedroom window. Our first morning here and the Welsh weather is kind. Endless possibilities! #smallholding

ICYMI 📺 | NFU President Tom Bradshaw was interviewed on @BBCBreakfast this morning discussing the inflationary pressures the war in Iran is placing on the UK food supply chain.

Buy British. Support farms. Buy local. This is our way to shield ourselves from future consequences to our food security and prices.

What's wrong with British carrots, seriously?

@ThrimbyFarms Someone to open the gate. Magic !

If you know you know. Breeding programme starting to come to fruition. Six years to get to this point…

Jeremy Clarkson is the epitome of dynamism. Has a great idea, gets on with it, makes wonderful things happen🫶🏻. With his own team and own £. Compare with those in No10. Dilly dally, no great ideas, waste everyone else’s £, achieve NOTHING. JC 4 PM 🫡 1/2

The lambing kit #boxoftricks has been extremely busy since dawn this morning #lambing2026 and will go on into the night #NoFarmersNoFood 🐑🐑🐑 Very thankful for kind weather #diolchiddo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿☀️☀️

Repost if you agree!

The Labour Government has decided to defund rural communities. Here in Cumbria, the Government is cutting its funding for Westmorland and Furness Council by nearly a third. This is an attack on every single one of our communities and the services we all rely on.

Just been quoted £1.40/l for red diesel - more than double what we paid in December and far closer to the derv price - who is making money out of this? It’s certainly not me!

@JoeWStanley Dont go. We need the voices to keep shouting !

I finally realise no conversations of value occur on this platform when it comes to food, farming & the environment. What should be a marketplace of ideas is largely a cesspit of wilfully misinformed tribalism. I’m out 👋

“The great red diesel robbery.” ~ Farmer Charles Goadby @thisfarmlife

We agree with this 🇬🇧 🚜

Keep bovaer in the news because if we don’t, it’ll be slipped into farm feeds with no benefit to the consumer whatsoever

Well said 🍺 🇬🇧

Meanwhile I’ve been denied planning permission to dig a small pond in a wet corner of a field 🤷🏻‍♀️

@cerelin Milk has dropped to 16ppl ??? How’s that supposed to work ?

good news, clear TB test. Bad news fertiliser has come but at a massive £564 a tonne for 25-5-5 😡. With milk price still 16ppl unaffordable.

Britain’s green and pleasant land is something to cherish. Because once the farmland is gone, it is gone forever. No farmers, no food.

Distressing news locally, a 27yo farmers son committed suicide over the weekend😔, please don’t bottle things up folks, it’s good to talk.

This will have a devastating effect on farmers and potentially food supply and prices.

@beefyfarmer It feels like profiteering. Crude isn’t up anything like as much Ona % basis.

Just had a quote for 1000 ltrs of heating oil for £1.43 per ltr and I paid on the 28th of Jan for 1500ltrs £0.56 per ltr off BoilerJuice
