Congratulations to Chris for being Grassland Farmer of the Year @FW_Awards. The change in the farming system from a traditional mixed farming unit to purely forage has been great to see. Even if it does mean less arable crops to sow! Thanks to the Berrys for using our services

Good luck to all finalists at this evenings @FW_Awards, especially those from the south west. You are all an inspiration!

A couple of fodder crops on clients farms. Sown direct into old pasture. Sawfly can 🖐 but the crops are moving on

@danieljack1991 Will you treat with insecticide? Have a problem brewing here so keeping an eye on how it develops.

Turnip sawfly larvae getting there monies worth 🫣🙉

Sown 3rd October following osr yielding 10t/ha on the nose, 4.6t/ha of straw

#harvest25 before and after of @KWSUKLtd Palladium grown for @SouthWestSeeds.

Organic forage required, Devon. DM if you know of something. Thankyou

@RichMadd86 Palladium did well, sown in Sep but not the 1st week of

Recommendations for a 1st of September winter wheat variety. Redwauld, champion and extase are out 😄

@Farmer_Tom_UK @DefraGovUK @_BTO @CLAtweets They also dont value the other output from UK farms. Food

My Saturday morning pondering: does government realise the value of some of the environmental measures we have supported on our farm? From one spot I can see a dozen different habitats supporting ground nesting birds in particular. @DefraGovUK @_BTO @CLAtweets

@AgriiUK Looking forward to harvesting our Fitzroy in the next few days. Pic taken in early June. Drilled early November

🌾 A Variety That Fitz! Looking to spread harvest, boost resilience, and hold strong under pressure? ✔️ Exceptional Septoria & rust resistance ✔️ Later maturity (+5) for harvest scheduling ✔️ Strong grain quality (72kg/hl in trials) ✔️ Stigg pedigree = unique resistance genes

A beautiful still morning in @JPBWFarm country. Perfect for lime spreading! #Exmoor

@GuidoFawkes Any link to a recording of this?

TRUMP: US President says cutting the Estate (Inheritance) Tax has helped American farmers: "They don't have a lot of money but they love their way of life." Starmer smiles uncomfortably.

It has been a good growing season for maize in this area. Even the short cut strip till method crops look good😉

@JPBWFarm @richardpayne94 Non sfi mixed farming

@richardpayne94 Similarly beautiful and packed with nature here in EX32

A little bit of (grass) marginal life this morning in TA4.

Well away now and soon be helping to produce #milk. @maizegrowers

@JamesWhatty @Nick_Wilson3 Silaging on a farm this week made me think of a similar scenario, in the livestock farming world. Contractors-us. Feed truck arrived. Machinery technician to service a telehandler. AI technician as well. Then the milk tanker arrived. Four businesses helping to produce food

@Nick_Wilson3 Seeing all the subsidiary businesses certainly makes you appreciate the knock on effects

This degree of innovation and commitment, all these businesses and jobs, depends upon one thing -farmers. Our ability to survive and reinvest is the key factor in all of these businesses’ existence. Without farming all of this disappears. We have a govt that seeks to destroy this

Any companies offering crop spraying with a drone? #osr pod sealant

@loosecollie Lots of comments on X and elsewhere that the government dont know what they are talking about, know nothing about farming etc. Unfortunately I think their plans are pre conceived and they know exactly what they are trying to achieve

Not just Tom Bradshaw. Everybody is aware of this. It doesn't even raise money, it costs the national purse. So why is the Chancellor being so misguided? Can the countryside trust this government?

@YvesPierrre What fertiliser do you give the crop?

Et les premiers sortent avec plus de 20mm depuis hier, parfait 👍

We are harvesting winter feed for our beef herd on our family farm. Many other farmers are doing the same in the beautiful Devon countryside, and across the UK. Thankyou for buying British food. #TradeDeal #proudtoproduce #ukbirdsong #foodmiles
