Great to be at the @AHDB_Scot @AHDB_Cereals ‘Big Scottish Crops Conference’ today. First talking about innovation and opportunity, and then hearing a fascinating history of grain prices with thinking points and a great panel on grain supply chain @JamesHuttonInst. Thank you!

@SRUC Donald here reading biomass density in my low-budget winter cover crop. Surprising amount of biomass but not a huge root growth considering the dry weather. This will be grazed then drilled. We will see how fair on Wednesday 10.45 Buccleuch St B. @mydirectdriller @nfus

@russbmckenzie That'll be #RALF then! I spoke six years ago - they did pay my flights back then, but I only agreed to do it on condition that they organised a farm visit for me the following day! The second day was very interesting!!

Very kindly got asked to speak at a farming conference in Romania last week. When I asked about travel & speaking fees being covered the reply was “we don’t usually pay our speakers” & flights are at your discretion. I declined the invitation, as much as i enjoy presenting I’ve really learnt to value my time etc over the years. It never ceases to amaze me why some event organisers think it’s ok for you to pass on your knowledge for free when people attending have had to pay to go!

'My Field of Dreams' @Pxfarms , but I'm not so strong on sheds. A pretty tidy early generation seed crop of KWS Zealum, a group 4 soft wheat

@GreenknoweFarm @Nigelrefowens Have they taken all your hedgehogs too? Ours have completely disappeared. We've had a very successful year on crow and magpie control which should help our remaining ground testers.

@growharder Liquid fertiliser (UANS) @ 1% inclusion is quite an effective water conditioner and very cost effective! Hope you're all well, btw?

We’re now unearthing some fascinating findings in @_truth_project @bofinfarmers “As well as healthy populations of mycorrhiza, @TomThirkell analysis of the Root Rangers’ samples has also uncovered some “unidentified foreign organisms” (UFOs).”
