🐑 If you’re managing liver fluke in your flock (or supporting farmers who are), your input will help an EU-funded study led by the University of Liverpool to improve liver fluke control and tackle resistance. To complete a short survey, ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runne… scan the QR code

@FarmerSimonC @farmer_just @e_of_blandings From where did the advice originate? think it became easy to get excited by it - but it’s not really a ‘performance’ indicator - maybe more an ecological state indicator?
Really hard to find any evidence that a higher/‘better’ F:B ratio will deliver greater business benefit
English
@e_of_blandings Exactly. I'm beginning to think all this advice we have been following to move soils to a higher successional state has been wrong. Fungal:bacteria balance is not what annual crops want, ok if you are trying to grow shrubs or trees but not wheat.

Getting very fed up with rooks digging up every new drilled field. They've been all over this one in 2 days, scratching up long rows. They never go on neighbours' fields or the bits I ploughed last year and this proving they are after insects, but do take seed as well.

@adhayward18 @PhoebeacBeal @fi_kenyon @jadeduncanx @MoredunComms Great project! Look forward to the results 😊

Year 3 of our experiment looking at the impacts of rotational grazing on sheep-parasite interactions is complete! Huge amounts of data collected on pasture mass, parasite egg counts, lamb growth & plasma proteins, with a freezer full of samples ready to be attacked over winter…

@Friesian_man Me too!!
It’s a great honour to be asked, and they’re often fab events. But
a) you absolutely should not be out of pocket and
b) everyone’s time is valuable - even more so if you’re self employed. The offer of a speaker/contributor fee should be the norm.
English
I can relate to this. I was asked to travel to speak at an event in the UK some time back. When questioned about travel/accommodation I was told that I'd get a free door ticket in to the event. I'd hardly need to pay to listen to myself! I declined.

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!

😳 wowsers! Final meeting already! A LOT has happened since kicking off 4 years ago - were still in Covid for a start. Anyhoo - there have been some epic changes, alongside some big challenges. It’s a great story of change 💪Come along tomorrow to hear it 1-6pm @ Alnham - link ⬇️

@angusgowthorpe @philip_skuce @PastureForLife 🤔 ‘20% of the pats contained adult fly pests…95% were infested with parasites. Regenerative pasture management did not increase the overall dung arthropod abundance or diversity, nor were there consistent effects on key beneficial arthropod groups throughout the grazing season’

Louping Ill is a serious threat to UK sheep. We have the science and experts but we need the funding.
On #WorldImmunisationWeek, watch to see how we can fix that—with your help. 🐑💉

@EdinvaleFarm Is the yellow actual weight? Did it lose weight over winter? (I’m trying to figure out why the weight plateaued at about 150kgs 🤷♀️
English
The other thing that bothered me was the lack of intramuscular fat in relation to the subcutaneous fat. For good quality beef we need both. So I dug out the weight records for this particular animal and this is how it looks.... 2/
English
So my "phwoar will you look at the fat on that" picture from the other day has been niggling me. Whilst it is totes poss to fatten a beast on a grass only diet, to finish a beast with that amount of cover at this time of year would be unusual, so I did a bit of digging... 1/

We need your help!
Moredun have developed a new vaccine against louping ill virus in sheep. The usual route to commercialisation was not possible due to the niche UK market.
If you are able, please donate bit.ly/4j0vyCf

@FredVLarsen @Farmer_Tom_UK How does inheritance tax work in DK? What do you feel the benefits of having it are?
English
@Farmer_Tom_UK Impressive. I’m not sure inheritance tax exemption is a benefit for the general structure of farm communities.
I have seen what no farm inheritance tax does to other EU countries and I don’t want that in DK. We have inheritance tax (~15%) and it’s alright.

“If you care, care now, not ten years in the future when it’s all gone. We need your support now”.
Making no apologies for how cutting and clear my commentary is. @DefraGovUK @SteveReedMP @RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer do the right thing. You are ruining our country.
English
@FarmstrongScot Looking forward to this. What could possibly go wrong? 🤪😂
