@HairyBikers So very very sorry to hear this news. You must all be devastated. The world has lost a goodhearted person and you have lost a soul mate.
English
Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.
Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.
I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.
May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.
Love Si x

@RichMadd86 - could you DM me so I can ask a quick question? Thanks
English
Which is not to say that each of those things don’t merit discussion or allow a range of opinions (except racism which is solely for dickheads)
But they shouldn’t be anywhere near farmer protests or in the mix
English
List of things I am happy to protest about as a farmer:
1. Goverment trade deals being deeply unfair - nothing should come in to this country that is produced beneath our production/welfare/eco standards
English
@AnimousUK @SaveBritishFood Conservation grazers, improved habitat for many species, soil health improvers. And in return for the good things my cattle do for the environment, I pour every ounce of my energy into animal welfare.

Eating red meat and dairy could help to fight cancer, a new study suggests.
Scientists have discovered that a specific fatty acid found in beef, lamb and dairy products improves the body’s ability to attack and kill tumours.

Unbelievable reality of how much people value there food or don’t ! 😩😡well done @BigEdBanthorp for standing your ground hope you kept going !👏👏👏

Rhodes is burning...What really matters is not that a Tourist playground burns, its the animals burned, wildlife lost and Nature destroyed...but out headlines talk of cancelled flights and holidays. If we think this is inconvenient..you wait to see the inconvenience of climate refugees, lack of food and water....floods, droughts and war....but lets just carry on leave that to our kids to deal with.

We thoroughly enjoyed taking @sjuggs15 to the Glaven #beaver enclosure for this week's @farming_hub show🦫
The site remains very wet, despite the surrounding landscape suffering from #drought
Beavers are remarkable hydrologists & habitat makers

@BenGoldsmith @herdyshepherd1 You are wrong or you are meeting the wrong farmers. Over the past year working with farmers across Norfolk I have been amazed at the majority’s willingness to work with various organisations- such as @N_Rivers_Trust @WildlifeTrusts - to provide more habitat for nature
English
In my lifetime, meeting any farmer who has any empathy for nature whatsoever has been a dramatic and exciting oddity. You are the exception, not the rule. So while I sympathise that the new schemes are not generous enough, and far from ideal, I also feel angry that nearly all farmers have spent the last half century expunging nature from our landscapes without a care in the world. A little contrition would be welcome from the sector as a whole, and let’s join forces to improve the new scheme, which is a big win in my opinion, imperfect or not.
English
Absolutely ridiculous take Ben
He massively worsened the trading relationship for British farmers - dismantled the old (yes, flawed) systems before creating a new one - encouraging agricultural intensification which is the biggest driver of nature decline in Britain

On nature and climate, @BorisJohnson has been by far the most passionate and committed PM Britain has ever had. This is his most important legacy. All but the most tribally political environmentalists know that we were lucky to have him from 2019-2022, during which time we got: - the game-changing reform of agriculture subsidies and the new Environmental Land Management scheme, the first of its kind anywhere in the world (Agriculture Act 2020); - the 25 Year Environment Plan, which was given legal underpinning by the far-reaching and ambitious Environment Act (2021); - the new Office for Environmental Protection (OEP); - the Fisheries Act (2020) and new marine protected areas in English waters; - a slew of new national ‘super nature reserves’, including Avalon in the majestic Somerset Levels, as well as new ‘national nature recovery zones’; - a new requirement for *all* building projects to deliver a ‘biodiversity net gain’; - the Species Reintroductions Taskforce; - the £800 million ‘Nature for Climate Fund’ and a new ‘English woodland creation offer’, a generous package of support for expanding native tree cover in England; - perhaps most importantly, the dramatic scaling up of Britain’s diplomatic and financial contribution to climate and nature work across the world; And more, and he had only just got started when he was booted out. So be happy in the knowledge that we have made big strides on climate and nature in recent years, like nothing we’ve seen previously under any PM. Let’s hope more of our politicians show the same level of ambition on these vital issues as Boris has shown. [It would be good if negative replies to this could focus on what I may have got wrong in this list, or on which previous PM has done more on these issues than Boris. The replies so far don’t go beyond ‘but Boris was awful!’, which is entirely subjective, and somewhat beside the point I’ve made.]

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview with the good folk of @N_Rivers_Trust @AvivaUK and @wwf_uk - three episodes into the Farming with Water series and I’m seriously impressed by NRT’s scale of work open.substack.com/pub/sarahjuggi…

Tomorrow I retire from @CrispMalt after 35 years. No more waiting for harvest, worrying about things out of my control - basically the weather. Thank you
to the growers,brokers & merchants who I have traded with in what is the most social part of the grain industry- Malt Barley.

So important that the cattle are able to give birth naturally, as stress free as possible and with no human interaction. This Wagyu delivered on all counts.
