We need to sort this country out bring back the national rivers authority or take the @EnvAgency to Holland to learn #flooding #rain #climatechange

@Doctor_650 @JimmerRussell Come and see me PO, only 20 mins away from Cambridge

@JimmerRussell Cambridge tonight. Where are u ?

Day 20 farm tour. Thanks to Arvalis research station in France. Wheat barley corn sorghum potatoes. Take home. Ryegrass big problem. Farmers get €250 / hect subsidy. Govt has big say in chem use. Consumer has little understanding of food production.

@farmermat1 @ritchieAgri Hi Mathew, cracking lambs! Are your ewes Texel x Nort county mules? Then put back to a Texel ram? Thank you

1000 lambs over the @ritchieAgri combi clamp today,434 drawn ready for next week 🐑🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Stats don’t lie! January to May weather figures for our farm in S.Lincs, year to date; Sunlight -26% Wind -18% Rain + 51% The crops and I would like some sunshine please! 🥔🌾🫛🥦🌱

@Nick_Wilson3 That looks a fantastic mix

Herbal key is definitely ready to cut… but the forecast is a shocker!

@dgwhoyles Very welcomed drop of rain. Really looking forward to seeing how Beowulf performs, will keep in touch!

LG Beowulf winter wheat. Looking smart. Dos Cockos also enjoying it! 🌾💪🏼🐶💧

Hard to see from the eye, but very impressed with the rooting results from applying 3l/ha of NHK Delta from @BionatureAgri. This was applied about 3 weeks ago when this Laureate spring barley was at 2 true leaves. Time will tell…

what a cracking evening to be putting a splash of foliar N on and putting Joel williams @IntegratedSoils online lectures into practice

As aphid numbers increase rapidly #BBRO is investigating a range of novel IPM strategies to limit their build up and reduce virus yellows. Which colour will work best? ⁦@NFUSugar⁩ ⁦@BritishSugar⁩

"Snipe's Snug" a tribute to my lovely old dog, combined with the Snipe we get a lot of in the cover crops over winter. Opening in June - if the damn grass seed will grow!

Thank you and well done @afgroupuk fuels team. Proactive phone call to say that our diesel tank was 70% empty (Tank Scout), fuel price had dropped and would we like it filled. Keeping us going. Saving us money. Smart work. Thank you AF. 👍🏼⛽️📉

We used to call this under-sowing herbal leys. It’s now called OP5 + SAM3

Finding the @yara N tester especially useful this year to calibrate VRA maps on yield potential in my very variable wheat crops. Tricky bit is gauging the yield potential in the first place mind!

Water hardness tester from @DeSangosseuk Bit of a difference from tap to rain water!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so cross / feel so sick / let down…. Being told I’m not eligible for the flood recovery fund! It’s a complete joke and insult. Talk about kick someone when they’re down! @wheat_daddy @NFUtweets @BBCNews @BBCPaulMurphy @victoria_ward @_RobbieMoore

We got there in the end…. Sugar beet harvest done! Sugars are surprisingly good still. Top job Richard Ivatt and team on a very challenging campaign. @BritishSugar

@Nick_Wilson3 Limus perform?

N trials - can pick out the one with all the N applied with an inhibitor. Interesting to see how it develops/compares

HARVEST WORKERS REQUIRED, please see Henry’s tweet below.

Fendt 728 and Horsch leeb applying T0 on Buccaneer winter barley. Also managed to get the OSR sprayed and T0 on the Extase WW. Dawsum WW about 7 days away from being ready. Shame about the forecast, still got 60 acres of beet to lift and 1/3rd of the farm to be spring drilled..

With the price of drinks at Cheltenham you can't blame her 😂😂 #CheltenhamFestival
