Big moment for @UKLabour to honour on their commitments to farming and food production. Words are easy - actions count 🙏👇
National Farmers' Union@NFUtweets
🚨The Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer was absolutely right that ‘Losing a farm is not like losing any other business. It can’t come back’. Which is why @RachelReevesMP must be clear that there will be no changes to APR, as pledged by @SteveReedMP.

Maybe time to consider the risks if you are bringing in English straw

@NFUtweets rightly headlining mental health concerns re the impact of misinformation re upcoming bTB broadcast. Follows on from a misleading ‘Megafarm’ article with wrong stats, interviewees wrongly stating UK farmers use growth hormones. Good to push for facts and balance
National Farmers' Union@NFUtweets
(1/5) NFU President Tom Bradshaw (@ProagriLtd) has written to the BBC to express deep concern about a documentary due to be shown on BBC2 on bovine TB, highlighting the effect it will have on the mental health of farmers who are still impacted by this terrible disease on farm.

@RhondaT40 @GlobalFarmerNet @PaulWoldfarm @IAgrM Such a great guy but I don’t think it was 2010 @ RhondaT40. I think possibly 2014 or 2015

@GlobalFarmerNet @PaulWoldfarm Such a lovely, kind and knowledgeable man. I had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with him through the 2010 @IAgrM Leadership Programme. Thank you @GlobalFarmerNet for re-sharing this, it really is a lovely tribute.

In memory of Andrew "Oz" Osmond, we are reposting his video story. Andrew used the time he had to make a positive difference and through the GFN, he amplified his voice. This interview was originally recorded August 16, 2023 prior to Andrew's passing.

Everyone needs to make a living in a supply chain to make it sustainable. Insecure finances are a key driver chronic stress ill health on farm. Wider societal health needs healthy unprocessed food accessible to all consumer incomes. Food is too valuable to get wrong like this

Incredible that farmers working 70-80hrs/week are being forced on to Universal Credit with the loss of BPS payments - yet are being told they need to find additional work to qualify. @Mark_Spencer @ProagriLtd @DrNeilHudson @BarryGardiner bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Bovine TB has been allowed to decimate farming families mentally and financially in NI. I’m no expert on the evidence for the many steps needed to eradicate it (I’ll leave that to the vets) but I am glad to see human health put first in this @DefraGovUK statement
sarah tomlinson@sjtomo157
What a powerful Ministerial Statement from @SteveBarclay in the latest @defra consultation acknowledging the impact farmer led (and funded) policy has had on levels of TB in England. @theBCVA @1GarethWynJones @Evsthetractor @HefinR

Got wee old plough to help lift ground and get it dried quicker this spring. Any lessons greatly appreciated 😉

Do you not eat @MarkAvery ? In the eyes of the public the second most respected occupation in the UK is being a farmer…the first is being a nurse. Perhaps 2024 you could start to share the love….😘
