"I just don’t understand... if farming is such hard work with very little return, why farmers are so keen to continue farming?" My response... which is also why I believe this #FamilyFarmTax will have an impact on the whole country. New video @FlankFarm

With spring officially in full swing, we held our final 'On The Farm Day' of March today, at Little Barrington Hall Farm, Herts. There was a discussion around the management of spring crops. Stay up to date with our future events: bit.ly/3Tvb6xR #OnTheFarm

@DefraGovUK @Ruralpay Your online checker is broken and we cannot complete this stage of the application! Please can you look into this as a matter of urgency - deadline is 11:59pm, and at present, no one can’t complete the first stage. This needs looking at urgently!

The first step to apply for an Improving Farm Productivity grant is an online checker. It closes Thursday 21 March. Read the guidance and apply!

@Ruralpay please could you confirm why the Improving Farm Productivity online checker isn’t working?! Deadline is 11:59pm on 21st March 2024 - so why can we not access it? Have tried the helpline, no one bothering to pick the phone up! Unacceptable!! #grantfunding #solarpv #RPA

RT’s appreciated, we are looking for an enthusiastic, hard working individual to join us this harvest.

Sums up the last few days quite nicely! youtu.be/X472LWhaXE0?si…

As a neutral observer, I don’t think I’ve see a more enthralling half of rugby in years than #FrancevsSouthAfrica - unbelievable game this far! The speed, skill set and passion shown by on both sides is an example of how good the game can be #rugbyworldcup2023 #Rugby

👑 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗿𝗮. Alastair Cook has today retired from all forms of professional cricket. #ThankYouChef

@SamBedford13 Great opportunity for someone here Sam 👏

@driverfarms1 Honest yields and realistic costs on social media? Outrageous 🤣

🤩 We'll just leave this here. CC: @CountyChamp

We all feel you Geoffrey… honestly, we do! It’s one thing to play positive cricket, but kamikaze batting is a tough watch 🤦‍♂️

A very well attending first @ceresrural On The Farm day at Heathcote Farms, Toddington. Jock Willmott leading us through 2024 budgets and 2023 #agronomy review. Trials data still to come!

Utterly astounded at the @DefraGovUK announcement on #SFI . Basically penalising any early adopters of the scheme, scrapping the Soil Standards as they currently exist, and replacing it with a flat payment of £5.80/ha - what sort of message does this send?!

If you’re heading to @Groundswellaguk on 28th June, feel free to drop by the afternoon before to our On The Farm event nearby (SG4 8DJ). A number of speakers including @SoilCapitalUK @FergusLyon discussing CS, #directdrilling and our #conservationag journey so far!
