@HefinR @loosecollie Gave away the last of my milling oats for £125/t. Had a bid (insult) from one merchant of £104/t 😡 Difficult to sell large quantities of feed oats ……. and this is a livestock area.

@loosecollie @Longwool What are feed oats making?

Last load of oat straw being collected this morning. Sad to think that the straw is worth considerably more than the Milling oats from the crop.

@richardpayne94 Very smart 👍 but slip on shoes? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

Just been to a wedding in East Lothian. Lovely farms, even better looking crops. Absolutely no litter, and everyone very friendly. 👏 Scotland, and thank you. And then Jedburgh, Barnard Castle & Sedbergh on the way back. We live in a wonder country.

Test your logic 🧠 What is the value of 10+10=?

@noravibes_ 45 😂

@arifkhangeo 6

Only 1 percent Get Right this! Can you solve this???

@Js_3636 It’s 36

Only for geniuses! Can you solve this? 🧠

@Jennnyyyyyy It’s 44

What will be the missing number? 🤔 Difficulty - Hardest 😉

@Jennnyyyyyy 44

Another day of perfect spraying weather ☹️🤦‍♂️

@EdwdPrice Thanks, that’s cheered me up no end 😂😂

@Longwool TBF you have to very rich to buy it so it’s only fair that if you get ill and die any time soon the government will take 40% of it to help pay Mr Olly Robbins’s payoff.

Another £20k load, pay for It May26 and get the money from the crop we grow with it May/June 28 Farming it’s mental.

@dikesmarshfarm @SyngentaUK Do t know bout that but it’s got an iron fist on price control 😡 6 quotes here and every one identical in price. A great example of price fixing in the marketplace 👎

Is @SyngentaUK trying to be the 'Segmentation King' this year with it's Miravis portfolio???

Fascinating interview with Chris Chapman on @BBCFarmingToday this morning. But to really understand his talent and craft you need to see his photos. Here’s the one of the pig and two brothers he talked of this morning

@Pxfarms The DJ “vicar” 😉😂 pass on my regards.

Must be serious if father gets on the forklift.

Out walking the farm, we have exactly 12 years left on our County Council tenancy. Hugely grateful for the system that has got us going, equally nervous about the future. County farms used to be a stepping stone, a first rung on a progressive ladder, but.... 1/5

"The National Trust is no friend of farmers... Its been captured by a clique with a driven agenda" @CatharineHoey @ #BattleFest 2025 "Ploughing on? The state of British farming"🧑‍🌾🧺 👇

@afneil I wouldn’t be surprised, he knew nothing and was out of his depth when Defra secretary. Quite incredible how some people seem to rise so high 🤦‍♂️

Like so many ministers in the Starmer government (maybe most) this minister — Steve Reed — has no idea what he’s talking about and is totally out of his depth. Which, when the matter is national security, is rather serious.

Maybe I could remind @ChrisGPackham .... 'A well-fed person has many problems, a hungry person has but one.' How many problems do you have Chris? 🤔

Up market view on milling oats on @BBCFarmingToday bears no reality to current market. A local grain marketing group returned a miserly £115.72/t for its committed autumn pool. The oat straw is worth more, better bed the cattle on the grain and sell the straw
