Very lucky to have had a few things written about what I’m up to. But I think this is my favourite. And on this wet Autumn night it’s a reminder Spring will return. Thank Charlie Holland of @Londnr magazine. Charlie really got it. That lad is going places. londnr.com/the-waiting-ga…

Pasture, Dartmoor, grazed on a ‘move often on rotation’ system* (Not a hay field) Wildlife and food production in the same place at the same time. Work in progress, but we are getting there. (* as everything is a abbreviation now I’m calling it MOoR grazing! )

If you want to do something good for nature, go meat free. 💚 If you eat meat a lot, have meat free days and watch your tastebuds explode with flavour as you can really taste the veggies without meat on the plate. There is no need for animals to suffer being slaughtered. Be kind 💚

@BenGoldsmith Deferred winter grazing by sheep. Sorted in two years. The only I think. Also heard a rumour of some research showing sheep are essential for establishing ‘temperate rainforest’. Hope it’s not being suppressed.

‘Drought fears in southern England as dry April leaves rivers low’ It rained *non stop* from December to March. Our landscapes however are drained, ditched and engineered to get rid of water as fast as possible. This is why there’s no water. theguardian.com/environment/20…

I’m going to have to over winter a lot of sheep this year. Work starts now to get the soil holding water. Our herbal ley has exploded so bringing in a friends heavy mob. So exciting. Absolute ecosystem engineers.

Been a perfect storm to produce frankly world class meat. Got masham very fat in the autumn. During the 7 weeks of continual rain they absorbed outer into the muscle (my theory) then totally new fat this Spring. Sheep got an extra 8 months of life. Restaurants doing ok as well!

@JaneEFindlay @BenGoldsmith I believe quickest way to do it is deferred Autumn/Winter grazing. In most of the country that would be with sheep. Thats when we feed worms. Been doing it a few years now. You can get most land holding a huge amount of water in about two years.

@BenGoldsmith On farmland, “slow the flow” means practical, productive change: restoring soil structure and organic matter so it absorbs and holds water; using cover crops and reduced tillage; reinstating hedgerows, field margins and contour planting to intercept runoff; creating leaky dams…

Why does Britain flip so violently back-and-forth from flooding to drought every year? Simple. It’s because our farmed landscapes have been engineered down to the last field to drain away water as fast as possible. linkedin.com/pulse/last-yea…

I went out for an hour with the dogs this dawn. I met 29 different bird species, that I could i.d. anyway, brown hares, rabbits, roe and muntjac(😡). Highlights were the grey partridge and willow warbler. Farming and nature rub along quite happily here, ignore the naysayers.

@paulpowlesland @TrooperSnooks What did you have for breakfast? Important question actually. You hate farmers but interesting to know how your diet affects the environment.
