Everything Is Greenknowe

@LukaWang1334302 @mydirectdriller @NFUStweets Thank you. It has worked very well for me over many years and my soil and margins are better for it. 👍

@GreenknoweFarm @mydirectdriller @NFUStweets That tilth looks perfect. Love seeing strip-till done cleanly like this — low disturbance, low fuel, high potential

Off to a good start. Beans going into barley stubble. Conditions are very good, and ground is breaking down in to a nice tilth. Front leg in 6" coulter 2.5" and only around 12L /Ha of expensive fuel. Roll & pre em next @mydirectdriller #striptill #sustainablefarming @NFUStweets

@willierwright And still great snow. Lucky bugger.

Great week skiing with No1 daughter, too old, too slow but great lunches, Bon Journey.

@ArableSam @TonyBel88788442 No, I think he has a different type of machine in his posts I have seen.

@PolandFarmer @GreenknoweFarm I think @TonyBel88788442 has one of those

Massive thank you to Mzuri World Poland for taking us to their new factory. Huge investment in manufacturing, design, build quality and innovation. Thanks to Wojciech and Lukas for showing us around and looking after us so well. Amazing, inspiring trip. Coming to the UK soon.

@PolandFarmer @ArableSam Thank you.

@GreenknoweFarm @ArableSam Nie wszystko powstaję w jednym miejscu, okoliczne firmy są podwykonawcami. . W Polsce prym prowadzi w sprzedaży nie Mzuri a #czajkowski striptill

@ArableSam No, it is now Mzuri World, and they have moved all production to a new purpose built factory in Poland. It was very interesting to visit a country where they are massively investing in their businesses and being encouraged and helped by their government and the EU to do so.

@GreenknoweFarm Does Mzuri have any uk manufacturing?

@TheFarmingForum are running an event up here in Scotland now that we have the best rugby team. Ai will have an influence on our job so a chance to learn how beneficial it can be can only be a good thing. Great to see them coming up North.

We installed our @Enduramaxx rainwater harvester tank from @AgriiUK this weekend, that stopped the rain falling. Hoping to fill the sprayer from it this year to save some metered water. Fits perfectly between the two sheds and hopefully that will keep it topped up. @NFUStweets

After our purchase of the Valtra kit at LAMMA from UTV products, everything will look like it's done in daylight. Worklights were easy to fit, headlights, and sidelights Harry wired in. We are now full power LED on the @ValtraGlobal N175D. Great worklights are always a good idea.

@John2Win Does this gov realise the huge risk it takes allowing, as it is, food products to enter this country often produced in welfare practices or using chemicals which are banned here in the UK? Food is medicine, and if we want to support UK farming and the NHS this must stop now.

📣 I’ve been selected to ask the Prime Minister a question tomorrow - a great opportunity to stand up for the Borders against this dreadful UK Labour government. ❓ What should I ask Keir Starmer?

@cutlerstom @SpudSlingsby @NFUStweets They can't even get people to drive the digger, never mind dig.🤷‍♂️

@GreenknoweFarm @SpudSlingsby @NFUStweets Insane to think how those were dug in by hand that deep. Can you imagine trying to get a labour force to do that nowadays?

Good drainage is key, so investment cant stop. A system about to go in at home. We are finding the original hand dug system, some 9 feet deep. Dug every 10 yards across most of the farm, incredible. A grant for drainage repairs would help keep soils healthy. #scotgov @NFUStweets

@mays_farm @NFUStweets 70s, I think David. The bits we have opened up are completely choked beyond jetting.

@GreenknoweFarm @NFUStweets When was the last system put in?

@cutlerstom @SpudSlingsby @NFUStweets Sadly, no. It was taken mid November, but that part of the field is drier.

@GreenknoweFarm @SpudSlingsby @NFUStweets Is that a recent picture?! If so I wouldn’t be changing any of the drainage! Looks lovely and dry!

@SpudSlingsby @NFUStweets It goes through the rise in the field towards the burn. It is incredible.

@GreenknoweFarm @NFUStweets Nine feet deep? Blimey! We have some 4 feet, I thought they were deep enough

@ian_sands @ValtraGlobal @BaileyTrailer @slurrykat @ValtraOficial Unfortunately, some have just slowed down production. As I have written in the next @mydirectdriller article, the tractor I have priced retailed equivalent to 1588tonnes of malting barley. 🤯

@GreenknoweFarm @ValtraGlobal @BaileyTrailer @slurrykat @ValtraOficial The tide is turning on machinery prices we need to keep the cheque book closed for a while to keep the pressure on manufacturers it was getting silly.

Great day at Lamma 26. Great kit, but also great conversations which I will follow up. Lots of young people attending. We almost made it without a purchase until UTV lights and a show offer to fully LED our @ValtraGlobal N175D. The future is bright. @BaileyTrailer @slurrykat

@ThrimbyFarms @mydirectdriller I would like to strip graze it, I think that would tidy it up well, but Im not moving electric fences weekly.

@GreenknoweFarm @mydirectdriller You’ll know better than me. I just get jealous of anything green at this time of year.

Nice to get next doors sheep onto this years cover crop. Im not sure if it's regen, sustainable, or integrated, but it just feels like farming and makes sense to me.I hope the weather dries up as poaching is a concern but it's still the best way to spread muck. @mydirectdriller

@ThrimbyFarms @mydirectdriller Do you think I need more / ha? It had a biomass of 18t/ha, which wasn't bad.

@GreenknoweFarm @mydirectdriller How many more artic loads do you need?
