A sneak peak from our time on farm this morning with @Glosfire 🚒 Some amazing collaboration to keep our farms safe during dry weather (when it returns!) 🚜 Keep an eye out for our fire safety video demonstrating steps you can take on farm to stay safe in the summer @NFUsouth

Today's stakeholder day in Newnham was a huge success, looking at a purpose built organic dairy with a big focus on soil health, efficiency & biodiversity. Not pictured: the sounds of millions of insects in the species-rich grasses on the hill

This morning in Gloucestershire we're with @nfum_cotswolds @NFUeconomics and @Savills to discuss a growing area of interest for farmers: natural capital markets and how they fit with food production @NfuWiltshire @NFUsouthwest

And on to the next one with @Minette_Batters meeting a small number of young farmers, new entrants and those aiming to enter the industry @GlosYFC #nextgen

We couldn't have asked for better weather for our farm walk at @OverFarmMarket. Incredible to see the huge number of different diversifications, and even more so to see the appetite to try out new things
