@Ed_Farmer_Ford 74.5kg is good! Wish mine was like that! Had a load of shrivelled up shit!

Desperate times, desperate measures. #harvest21

@EWDaviesFarms Sorry to see this Jeremy! Truly gutting for you and the team, I hope there is some financial support available to you!

The severity of Tuesday’s hail storm is now becoming tough reality as everyone try’s to salvage what’s left. Hybrid barley coming over the weighbridge less than 2t/ha. The storm hit a big area with some farms being totally wiped out.

@wheat_daddy What system do you honestly want to work long term? I’ve found most of these on farm trials always end up showing what people want them to show.

Update on our 6 year trial of cover crop and direct drilling (planting) v our conventional system. Still not convinced!! 🤷‍♂️

@Ed_Farmer_Ford @SencropUK @agronomist_ben @Farmer_Michael Bought ours, simple and does what it says on the tin 👍

Had a ⁦@SencropUK⁩ on demo for a few weeks now. Got to give it back in December or pay up. What are people’s thoughts on them ?⁦@agronomist_ben⁩ ⁦@Farmer_Michael⁩

Have you seen it yet? 📺 For the next Two Weeks Agrii and GTM Rural Enterprises will appear in a feature on 'Country Ways' Tune in on •Freeview – Channel 7 •Sky – Channel 117 •Virgin Media – Channel 159

@driverfarms1 If it won’t effect yield of current crop abs you’re confident you can control 2000 times the amount there in the next crop leave it. Also consider harvest hygiene is there a risk you or or could transfer to another field where you won’t have the same control measures?

@Ed_Farmer_Ford Could you fit a small hydraulic ram to the open and close it? Maybe even a little camera with screen in loader. Then remove the need for a guy to be stood under it at all?

Our new Drill/Bag filler proving its worth. Just driven round the tracks with 2t to fill the drill in the field. Would never carry bags that far. #farmsafety. Keeping the seed trailer in the yard where possible. Handy when changing seed too. Makes bagging very easy.

@AgriiUK is working with growers to develop sustainable farming solutions as show in their recent 'Country Ways' feature. This will be shown in selected regions over the next month youtube.com/watch?v=zZ8vd_… @GTMRural @clubhectare2211 @FarmersOfTheUK @sunkfarmer @CharCunningham

GTM going nationwide tonight talking all things farming with Agrii..

Excited to announce that Agrii will be appearing on screens in selected regions across the UK. Starting tonight, our feature on 'Country Ways' will run for the next 4 weeks! 🎬Tune in on •Freeview – Channel 7 •Sky – Channel 117 •Virgin Media – Channel 159

@Ed_Farmer_Ford Fail to prepare...prepare to fail 👌

Incredibly useful 2 hours strategic agronomy meeting. Learning from our mistakes last year and planning the coming drilling season. The bottom line is Piss poor planning produces piss poor performance!

Another load of barley straw heading West. Not often we get female lorry drivers but great to see more women in the agricultural industry and just for the record she would wipe the floor with some male drivers we have #straw #harvest2020 #dairy #arable #female #haulage #drivers

@Ed_Farmer_Ford @JCBAgriculture @PTuckwellLtd Do it! Very good machine! Once they update the screen and functionality I’d have it over the fendts

Thanks to @JCBAgriculture @PTuckwellLtd for the use of this beast over the past couple of days. Certainly a very capable machine. Prehaps there is more to life than Fendts........

OSR going in for #harvest2021 Very impressed with the Cayena #farminguk #oilseedrape #fendt #amazone #SustainableAgriculture

Oilseed Rape Straw heading off farm today. Going to be a difficult season for straw contractors this year! Hardly any straw around and lots of farmers turning on the choppers. Add in that the trade filled barns in May/June with old stock - nightmare season! #straw #harvest2020

@awright4645 @DavidButler34 @ian_pigott We grew this in the early days of HempCore late 90’s/00’s was absolutely fantastic crop! I believe it to be one the most versatile and incredible plants on this planet! If the market place could be sorted out and this went mainstream it could be an absolute gamechanger!

@DavidButler34 @ian_pigott "As an oilseed that is native to the UK, it is easy to grow, requires few inputs, improves soil structure and increases yields for following crops. [.] Hemp is one of the best crops for offsetting CO2, growing as it does, up to 5m in just 4 months" fwi.co.uk/arable/crop-se…

@OliverDowding As with all things - there is a middle ground to be found. GM ‘round-up ready’ wheat - disaster. GM crops resistant to pests which otherwise would require multiple pesticide sprays - fantastic.

Question: GM or Gene editing - who will benefit? Consumers? ++yields to feed more? GM has had minimal success at that. This while c.30%+ of current food supplies are wasted. Farmers, to produce more crops that aren't needed? Chemical companies? ++sales? GM hasn't reduced use!
