@farmerevees Hi @farmerevees sorry to contact you on here but I can't direct message you! I have a media interview request for you - wondering if you can drop me a DM or follow me so I can get in touch directly? Thanks. Ben

X9, wheat and lasagne - what a Wednesday

@TrooperSnooks I expect to see my face in them

@BenPikeComms We are looking forward to it very much. I will polish my boots especially

@kirtonskeldyke I was getting worried that you didn’t have enough

Another addition to the collection today, I’m going to take the loader off if anyone is interested in buying it. Genuine John Deere 245M, pins all tight and well greased, a slight weep on a couple of the rams but generally a very sound loader. All brackets and pipes included.

@Georgethefarmer @kirtonskeldyke I wrote that article and with hindsight that intro is complete nonsense. He’s got the best looking lawn I’ve ever seen!

@kirtonskeldyke except for the hanging baskets, flower troughs, manicured lawns and the smell of fresh paint!

@kirtonskeldyke @ClassicTracMag @Scrivphoto @JohnDeere Wow! Love that these pictures have been used so widely. I’ll grab a copy

May I suggest a bit of light reading on a wet weekend in harvest, an excellent article by @ClassicTracMag in this month’s Classic Tractor magazine. They are all for sale if the price was right!!!

Dr David Purdy, a Business Manager with @JohnDeere, has shared his story after being diagnosed with cancer of the lower oesophagus last year. This video is shared as part of FCN's #NipItInTheBud campaign with @macmillancancer raising awareness of cancer: fcn.org.uk/blog/2025/07/2…

@davidpurdysoils @kirtonskeldyke @Scrivphoto @JohnDeere All about the soil holding them up, David!

@kirtonskeldyke @Scrivphoto @BenPikeComms @JohnDeere They are amazing shots of the best tractors in the world!

A sneak preview of the photo shoot by @Scrivphoto & @BenPikeComms for Green Power, a #JohnDeere publication, professional photos to follow…..

@TJex_RegenAg @Pulse_PEP @pgroresearch @AgriiUK Good talk @TJex_RegenAg. Went down well. Sorry we never caught you at the end to do an interview - next time 👍

Really much enjoyed being a part of the @Pulse_PEP conference yesterday. My main takeaway thoughts were how we can add value to the pulses we grow and protect UK farmer’s profitability from cheaper imports. Removing of barriers key to progressive approach @pgroresearch @AgriiUK
