@JDRoyle Vital. Here in US there’s zero dwt pricing available from any source. The US sheep industry is the worse for it.

‘Trump comes up with an announcement one day and the next day he might reverse it’. @DavidHenigUK, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project tells Vanessa Feltz that it’s the ‘random nature’ of the tariff decisions that may affect the US economy.

@ProagriLtd I note several farmers talk about wanting to ensure their children are in the position to continue to run the family farm. Just remember that these kids will one day feed your kids.

@BBCRosAtkins I would assume you’re on the Acela? Can be more fun on standard DC/NY trains....they tend to try for similar speeds as the Acela but with older and less able rolling stock to handle corners. Tip, don’t put your bag on the rack above as it ends up on your lap anyway. 🙃

Given there was some interest in my train journey from DC to New York yesterday, I thought it might be good to continue to exchange notes with you on the US rail experience as I make the return journey.

Why “eccentric”? It celebrates an 800 year old tradition for the UK sheep industry. A sector which supports rural communities and is a vital component of the UK livestock industry. In 2023 lamb exports of 80,000mts were worth £500 mill. @AHDB_BeefLamb @natsheep

Hollywood star Damian Lewis has been photographed driving sheep over the River Thames in an “eccentric” tradition dating back hundreds of years ✍️: @Polallingham standard.co.uk/news/uk/damian…

@FarmingUK British bacon leaves US product for dead. This is what you get. Shrinks to nothing. Massive residue. No crackly bits. Rind on contravenes USDA pig processing regs. Middleback just isn’t a thing either, nearest to this is what’s called Canadian bacon. 😕 @TheAHDB @GBpork

@JimmysFarmHQ One can safely assume these capybaras are not afflicted by the tick prevalent in Brazil which spreads Brazilian Spotted Fever ?

I haven’t had service for a long time. Little update now that I am back down from running springs. The rain actually did help a lot higher up it isn’t ragging like it was earlier this afternoon but the severe threat is still there. The 330 is completely burned over. #linefire
