Arable Farmer. Off the farm- motorsport, music and rugby. All views are my own etc. No Fendts, or cross-slot.

Up market view on milling oats on @BBCFarmingToday bears no reality to current market. A local grain marketing group returned a miserly £115.72/t for its committed autumn pool. The oat straw is worth more, better bed the cattle on the grain and sell the straw

@LizWebsterSBF @AndyBurnhamGM So you think it right that the #victimofcrime should be the one who should pay to put that crime right? When the real problem is that fines are so low criminals dump waste because it is such a good way of making money. #justicesubsidisingcriminality

@hertsfarming Sorry to miss you too. Hopefully it will be well received 🤞.

A lovely bit of whale watching off Kaikoura yesterday 🐳

@Jes_Squirrell Worse than that - it’s the sort of line that you could get away with after 3 beers in the pub with your mates, but not as the leader of the nation

The most cringeworthy “joke” in PMQs that I can remember 🤢
Peter Stefanovic@PeterStefanovi2
Blimey. Did I really just hear Keir Starmer say this “They had more positions in 14 years than the Kama Sutra. No wonder they are knackered and they left the country screwed” #PMQs

@FarmersWeekly @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage @LizWebsterSBF @SaveBritishFood @1GarethWynJones @agricontract @wheat_daddy @TWBFarms @loosecollie @NoFarmsNoFoods It amazes me why we aren’t getting behind the Lib Dems if they want a fresh start from Tories and Labour. They’ve said everything that makes me think they would do a better job than Reform that would do a deal with the US and Mercosur at the blink of an eye. UK farmers be damned

Exactly what’s happening and will happen further in England, smaller scale but same result, oh and that’s before the impact of IHT on family businesses

Wow!👇 If anyone had any doubts about the real issues about farm profitability, look no further than this film. Rather pertinent to @Minette_Batters report. We won’t see more profitability when the whole job is rigged worldwide! Time to rethink how we sell to the consumer??

John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube channel for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up. The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the entire agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing over America.

I'm a third of the way through the Farm Profitability Review. The most striking graph is this showing slim/ often negative margin. You don't have to be an economist to see that a tax on capital is not affordable. You'd have to be a detached fundamentalist to drive this through..

A government review to tackle unfair practices in the combinable crops supply chain is a real opportunity to address the current imbalance of power and give arable farmers a stronger voice and fairer terms. Please respond to the consultation now.

Actually trolling small businesses now.
By “backs” they mean “back small businesses into a corner, and kick them until they expire”

Labour backs Britain's small businesses.

(1/6) We hoped the Chancellor would do the right thing on the Family Farm Tax. The small change to IHT is not enough to protect family farms and remove the cruel impact of the policy on elderly and vulnerable farmers. MPs echo the frustration felt by farmers across the country.
