The best day of our lives ❤️ @Ed_Farmer_Ford & @ljane88 Mr & Mrs Ford 26.06.2021

For those interested in more information to join the @FarmersCompany' 75th Rural Leadership programme through the autumn and winter of 2026/27, here is a further video from last year's cohort. Tom Pope, agronomist, tells us why you should consider the Management programme and recommends its benefits, both personally and professionally. A reminder, we are running an online session this year to learn more about the Farmers' Management course. This will take place on Monday, 23rd March, from 19:00 for approximately two hours. Please register to join us by emailing RBM@farmerslivery.org.uk or if you have any questions. Information on fees and the application portal for the 2026/27 programme is available here: farmerslivery.org.uk/courses/rural-… #RBM26

I should be on the farm today planting barley or spreading fertiliser, but instead we’re at the High Court for a Judicial Review where we’ll ask the Court to step in and declare that the Chancellor’s decision not to consult properly over IHT changes with the public was unlawful.

Thatcher organised a fleet of 127 warships and cruise ships within 48hrs ready to sail to the Falkland Islands after Argentina invaded 🇬🇧 Starmer organised 1 ship to sail to Cyprus to protect the island but it won't be ready to sail until next week 🚣🏼‍♂️

@MikeFoley781 @TWBFarms @AngloAmericanUK @StrimechLTD Same thing. Been using for years.

@TWBFarms @AngloAmericanUK @StrimechLTD Is that the same as polysulfate?

Our #poly4 fertiliser trial with @AngloAmericanUK was so successful it has now become standard farm practice 👍 Separately, the bucket we developed with @StrimechLTD, shown here loading pre production material, has significantly improved on farm safety and handling 👍 #UKFarming #FarmSafety #AgTech #Arable #PrecisionFarming #Fertiliser #Polyhalite

After a couple of tonne of linseed off the heap if anyone has any? Will pay £700 per ton

@Pxfarms Christ that’s impressive especially whilst in Brazil 😜. That said, we are spraying off today…… from centre Parcs 🤣 Would be interested to know cost per minute of product 🤯😬

48 mt on liquid fert are getting some area covered each per day

@Wyefarm Did you make it home?

Actually very impressed by Emma Reynolds. Far better than her predecessor. (Also very good at not answering the question, whilst answering the question.) #NFU26

1990 wheat was ~£110/tonne Ave tractor cost ~£30k Ave farm worker salary £8k +SUBSIDY TODAY wheat is £162/tonne Ave tractor cost ~ £125k Ave farm worker salary £30k NO SUBSIDY Doesn’t take a genius to work out farming, producing food is NON VIABLE @angelaeagle @EmmaforWycombe

@loweroddfarm Soon needs to stop. Not the money in the job to be repairing lots of mess in the summer.

I realise that others have had much more, however this takes our weekly total to 50mm. Remarkably crops including grass still look quite amazing.

A weekend away in Cornwall with the @WCFAlumni #CRL2016 gang. Our 10th anniversary. 10 years on, still a critical weekend for all involved! A fantastic group that has formed a tight bond over the years. Long may it continue 👌👍👍💪💪

Beaters days done and dusted. A fantastic season despite the warm and at times wet weather. @BeckeringsPark @SpainsHallEssex 💪💪👍👍 Roll in season 2026/7

@StuLittle1972 @JLR_News @LandRover @volvocars And they go like s**t off a shovel!!!

@ChilderditchFms @JLR_News @LandRover @volvocars Look at what #team999 drive Ed, there aren’t many land rovers these days but there’s lots of Volvo’s. They can’t afford the down time and the XC90’s are lovely

Got my @JLR_News @LandRover discovery back after 6 weeks of warranty work. Although not too chuffed that I didn’t get a like for like replacement, very impressed with the @volvocars XC90. Great family wagon and surprisingly practical round the farm. Watch out JLR

@Wyefarm @JLR_News @LandRover @volvocars Don’t!! They gave me one of those. Lasted 2 days.

@ChilderditchFms @JLR_News @LandRover @volvocars More space than a courtesy Evoque 😉

@Wyefarm @JLR_News @LandRover @volvocars Yes, I had the plug in. Really liked it as a family car however still less space than the disco

@ChilderditchFms @JLR_News @LandRover @volvocars Onto our second XC90 - my only gripe was the lack of diesel option so went with the Plug in hybrid instead. Absolute animal if you put your foot down!

2 students returning so 2 more to find. Retweets appreciated.

@UKXtremeWeather West essex

@ChilderditchFms Anywhere specific?

Things have not gone the way of the south this evening. Needs a dramatic twist now for Dorset to really be in the snow game. Bottom line…… unlikely

@MetChasers West Essex ?

Will your area see snow or rain? Or maybe a mixture of both? Reply to this with your location and I'll try give my detailed thoughts on your outlook tomorrow

@Wyefarm Did you fall over or did you have a fall?

Good morning to anyone that needs a laugh! I got taken out by a slightly raised 300+ year old cobble, no lasting physical damage. Just a dent on my pride & an acceptance that I am now middle aged!
