I’m excited to be working with colleagues in the @succession_alliance to deliver the opening presentation in the @nfyfc stage at @cerealseventuk this year. Family Farm Succession is such an important topic at the moment and it’s rarely an easy conversation.

After a busy day, on Wednesday, I found myself back in Nottinghamshire, ready to deliver the second session in my Finance for Farmers course. It was a deep dive into using Gross Margins, this week. Next weeks session will be all about understanding and using Annual Accounts.

The stats say it all. With an average of 31 deaths & 23000 serious injuries annually, our industry’s the most dangerous to work in so I’m more than happy to be supporting the organisations who are hosting the #farmsafety event @newarkshowground. Say “Hi” to me if you’re there too

This may not be the finest piece of hedge laying but it’s my piece of hedge laying! There’s something very calming about practicing a skill that one learnt over 4 decades ago. It calms the mind and distracts me from the worries of the World. It’s well worth the investment of time

I’m excited to announce that the next Finance for Farmers training course is running @the_hopbarn near Southwell in Nottinghamshire! 8 evening sessions between 4th Feb and 1st Apr 26. There’s still a couple of places so please contact me if you’d like more information.

It was a cold, wet day, yesterday where I was leading a one day training course about #IFM with @LEAF_Farming for farmers supplying #OilSeedRape #OSR for @Hellmanssauce They’re collaborating with @FrontierAg and @Unilever to ensure it’s grown as sustainably as possible.

A selection of the comments from the feedback forms at the end of a training course that I delivered last week. To be fair, the delegates were very engaged and the venue was perfect too!

I’m back home after a fantastic day delivering training, on behalf of @the_allertonproject, to staff from @ruralpay, @defrauk, @naturalengland staff, supported by the hosts, The Holliday family at Dobcross Hall in Cumbria. Great hosts, great weather, great feedback!

Tomorrow, I’m travelling in the Borders. I’ve an appointment on farm near Berwick on Tweed in the AM but I’d welcome the opportunity to stop and talk Sustainable Farming or Farm Succession Management with someone after lunch. If anyone in the Borders fancies a chat, message me!

10.00-12.00 online meeting with Succession Alliance to discuss future strategy, 12.00-13.00 listen to Canadian Succession Coach, Lydia Carpenter, while driving North on the A1. 14.30 meeting near Richmond. 18.30 Arrive in Moffat in time to prepare for meetings tomorrow.

Well, this isn’t my usual gig! I’m speaking about Farm Business Succession Management on behalf of @succession_alliance at the Caravan Storage Site Owners Association AGM, this morning. There are members in the room and more joining the meeting online but it’s hardly the BAFTAs!

@woodboroughpark Hugely deserved and a wonderful accolade if it does, indeed, turn out to be your final year farming. I’m so pleased for you.

The highlight of a fairly crap farming year. Means a lot in what is likely to become our final year

Pleased to repost this clip from fellow Succession Alliance founder, @wildmanheather. Farm succession planning is not easy but we’re working to change that. Watch the video or visit successionalliance.com if you want to know more.

@RhondaT40 @wheat_daddy @no1sunkfarmer TBF, Rhonda, it’s unbearably hot here too but without the benefit of muscles and French fries!

My last meal in the Gers before travelling home. It’s been unbearably hot 😳but it’s also been lovely. The moules were amazing 😋👌⁦@wheat_daddy⁩ ⁦@no1sunkfarmer⁩

SAAB help please. My brother is looking for (part of?) an exhaust for a SAAB 95 Aero Sport, manufactured in 2004. Anyone got any good leads for either new or from a breaker’s yard?

The 2025 @Groundswellaguk festival didn't disappoint! My first time exhibiting was well received and I met dozens of people, made new friends and, hopefully, built relationships with some new clients. Not to mention the great street food, beers and ciders which helped too!
