@agricontract @RangeRover Terrible company, when they are not breaking down the vehicles get nicked. After our last one got stolen, vowed never to have another especially when I heard that Landrovers own insurance company wouldn’t insure them!

This was fun, a fireside chat with @olifletcher talking about the role of the soil and gut microbiome, how little we know about them and our approach to finding out more to aid decision making youtu.be/7oQO7TZFtrI?si…

@BasilTheGreat @realDonaldTrump is a clown, he will not prevail and the @BBCNews must fight him. Trump is going to be so embroiled in dozens of legal battles, most of his own making, that he will lose everything.

Lincolnshire: The approval of a mega solar farm by the UK government covering an area of high-quality farmland the size of Heathrow Airport - despite huge local community concerns. This is now happening in so many parts of the UK. This is fundamentally wrong for so many reasons.

I read @realDonaldTrump 37% approval rating as 37% of all those polled are either morons or part of the grift. America got what they voted for but the rest of the world will be affected. Remember this when considering a vote for one of his biggest sycophants @Nigel_Farage

@FarmerSimonC Ah yes don’t disagree with that. I think the days of no till Puritanism are over, we don’t do much arable now but to me the most reliable crop and best compromise seems to include LDS most years..

@DougWanstall Yes Doug, I have experimented with a bit of subsioling as well, and it certainly helps, but I think ploughing is a great opportunity to reduce blackgrass pressure, and I don't think it does a lot of harm as a one off.

Getting very fed up with rooks digging up every new drilled field. They've been all over this one in 2 days, scratching up long rows. They never go on neighbours' fields or the bits I ploughed last year and this proving they are after insects, but do take seed as well.

@FarmerSimonC You could use a low disturbance subsoiler and direct drill into that, best of both worlds IMHO. No need to plough and undo all your years of great work.

I have yet to see any benefits from all this extra life in my soils, just lower yields. I my as well just plough the lot, drill without any care or attention like most do round here, then end up with a much bigger pile of wheat in the shed.

@OurCowMolly @QUBFoodProf @TheAHDB You should absolutely get yourself to Net Zero before monetising any additional removals, under our system you have to. We have worked with a number of dairy farmers who have managed to get beyond net zero…

Clovers, vetch, bird’s foot trefoil, sanfoin & Lucerne being cut for feed following a summer fertility building & soil carbon capture. Oodles of worm & pollinator activity. One more year then back into cereals. With carbon markets now paying is this the rotation of the moment?

I’ve been lucky enough to bump into @LewisMoody7 on a train, we chatted about rugby, his work with kids among other things. A maniac on the pitch, a gent off it. I wish you well & the rugby community is with you as you navigate the emotional journey you are no doubt on #mnd

It must be hard being @_GregSwenson imagine having to justify the monumental BS that @realDonaldTrump spouts on a daily basis. My prediction stands, Trump won’t get to the end of his term as it slowly dawns on 🇺🇸 that he is indeed the 🤡 the rest of the 🌍 knew he was all along
GB News@GBNEWS

'He likes to throw a grenade into the room.' Chairman of Republicans Overseas UK Greg Swenson explains why Trump's speech at the UN was so impactful, adding 'President Trump is saying what a lot of people are thinking.'

I have just seen an advert for the Euromillions lottery advertising a rollover for Friday. How do they know when the lottery for tonight hasn't been drawn yet? Is the lottery another con to milk the public?

Anyone still think that @realDonaldTrump isn’t a moronic, narcissistic, bloated self important cry baby? I suspect that even his sickest sycophantic supporters are starting to wane in their confidence in the tangerine baboon. @Nigel_Farage still a chum?
