@andrewr1972 We suffered last year big time with this, this timenwe went extremely hard when the first weather window for 18 months came and just managed to get finished drilling, fingers crossed going early pays off this time around

241mm here for September, heavy land, next week and week after not looking settled not sure how much drilling we will get done this autumn as these soils will take many days to dry and at the moment can't see a prolonged settled spell.

Brilliant to visit @Beckside_Farm in Cumbria today w/ Lyndon Edwards from @AHDB_Dairy - calf care protocols are brilliant & great to hear about plans for a new shed. The passion, attention to detail & the long range planning from Patrick & his family was mind-blowing!

1/2 Celebrate #Farm24 with Patrick and family at one of our Morrisons-aligned farming families in the beautiful Lake District. With a farming heritage spanning over 300 years they milk 600 Holstein cows and have a flock of 750 hill sheep. #FarmersGuardian #Morrisons #BecksideFarm

@CraigBLandagent @jimclark67crop @Hutchinsons_Ag @ArlaDairyUK @becksidefarm Yeh very glad to have it in, if have a September like last year that made late harvest it will help ground hold up a lot better

@Beckside_Farm @jimclark67crop @Hutchinsons_Ag @ArlaDairyUK @becksidefarm Looks a really good job, especially in a challenging growing year

Some nice crimson clover and grass seed under maize in the Lake District helps hold nutrients in the soil and stop soil erosion ⁦@Hutchinsons_Ag⁩ ⁦@ArlaDairyUK⁩ ⁦@becksidefarm⁩

@CraigBLandagent @jimclark67crop @Hutchinsons_Ag @ArlaDairyUK @becksidefarm Used our Weaving inter row 6m seeder we got onnthe grant this year, did it when the maize was about 2ft tall

@Beckside_Farm @jimclark67crop @Hutchinsons_Ag @ArlaDairyUK @becksidefarm What did you plant this with Patrick, what stage was the maize at?

@1stGenDairyFarm But waitnfor next month when get the gains

Excited to be sending a tank of milk with no seasonality deductions tonight, felt like we’ve been bent over these last 3 months 🤩

@BenDooley8 @fairleigh_ag @croftfootfarm

@fairleigh_ag On this point, my blood boils. Its mid winter there. Sheep naturally get in lamb in the autumn, and lamb in late winter/spring. Efficient production systems mean lamb from here is cheaper in dec-may than theirs. And theirs *might be* outside of that. The British farmers have.....

I'm a Kiwi farmer & I struggle to understand why the British can't by their own product, produced in their own country,at their local supermarket. I mean,how can it be cheaper to bring it halfway round the world, instead of halfway down the M1 ?!?!

@CertasBusiness @GreenFleetNews Would help if you could actually deliver your fuel on time and also ring back when manager says they will with an update!! Horrendous customer service

@xtedbear @CertasBusiness I would like to feed my cattle though....

@Beckside_Farm @CertasBusiness Don't wouldn't worry about them, I fell out with them years after they took over 3 weeks to deliver but kept telling me it was on tomorrow's delivery 🤬

Well done @CertasBusiness we have had fuel on order for over a week, snow delayed it coming granted but now it won't be here until next week...we have 900head of cattle to feed and we are just about empty. Your managers are on holiday conveniently, shocking service!!!!!!

Don't you love it when you put something negative about a company and suddenly a manager that was "on holiday" is miraculously available...@CertasBusiness

@puncherton @Slug_95 @CertasBusiness They are already on my naughty step 😂😂😂

@Slug_95 @Beckside_Farm @CertasBusiness They'll put your account on the naughty step for your next order. Tried that 😏

@Slug_95 @CertasBusiness Doesn't help me feeding 900 head of cattle though does it 🤬🤬🤬

@Beckside_Farm @CertasBusiness Delay payment when it does arrive and say your account manager is on holiday 🤣

@Catheri32273716 @PaulWoldfarm That's insane, we pay everyone by the hour, don't run any salaries for this exact reason

@PaulWoldfarm I get people being annoyed over wages but my pay works out at £2.50 a hour rn and that’s max anyone seems to want to pay. Yes I’m on salary but when you work out basic hours for the pay I receive it’s around that. It’s not liveable.

How do you pass on the near 10% rise in minimum wage in agriculture? It affects farming & environmental management more than most.

Epic morning, shifted sheep to a new bite of grass, sun is out, frost, and a view to die for

#BFA23 winner of the Dairy Farmer of the Year is awarded to Patrick Morris-Eyton, Sunnyside Farm, Morris-Eyton and Son, Cumbria – congratulations! @beckside_farm @KWfeeds @HolsteinUK @holstein_world

Super super proud of my pal @Beckside_Farm!!! Well done.
