@slem1ill @widow_waiting @Morrisons You clearly haven’t tried ringing them. We had this no apologise no contact just shocking customer service
English
@widow_waiting @Morrisons Maybe ring them and not play it out publicly or get to supermarket in day instead of being on here

@mdhcampbell @PhilNash2 I would have been really keen to go this but unfortunately I am in Copenhagen. Maybe next year

@PhilNash2 As an alternative but different conference there’s always the AgriLeader Forum? As a levy payer the conference cost is covered by your levy you just need to cover travel and B&B accommodation? ahdb.org.uk/AgriLeader-for…

@Luppod61 It should show up on diesel usage.
Unfortunately not a huge part of sustainability in the grand scheme of things.

Not a drop of Fossil Fuel used to feed these cows!!! How does that fit in with #Sustainability?? #Arla #teamdairy #Verticalgrazing #selffeed

@farmmillennial Had a ate who had carpet and an immaculate tractor cab. No matter how wet and muddy it was his cab was always spotless 🤷♂️

Farmers who have carpet in their tractors - I don't get it. How? We have 2 used machines that came with the carpet pieces, which were destroyed within a couple of days from the black mud we farm. Are there people who never have to get out?!

@DallynLee @sussexfarming It’s about forming a good relationship. That works for both sides. I sure as hell wouldn’t have wanted to be a contractor this year.
English
@sussexfarming I have tended to shed those type of clients. If I can’t get there or haven’t got the tools for the job then happy to let someone else do the job. Madly chasing work is where things start to go wrong

Incredibly sad. working with contractors & seeing the pressures, farmers can do their bit. The way some think it’s acceptable to talk to contractors who’ve broken down or threaten to lose work to someone who’s a few pence cheaper after they’ve financed machinery, doesn’t help

Very sad to hear that a young contractor in Wiltshire has taken his life. There are lots of stresses & strains, compounded by many hours working alone. Please just pick up the phone or catch up with one friend, ask them how they are and share the load. We've got to work on this.

@DallynLee There is only 1 thing worse than not having any rain and that is hearing other people brag about how much they got 😱
English
Much needed rain 🌧️ yesterday.
11.5mm here in GU28. Everything looking fresher #farming

@KateHoare6 Fair play for trying but I haven’t had much success with them. Normally get mastitis

This heifer thought grass was greener! Turns out it wasn’t! Sliced her teat going over the fence needs a plug to help the milk run out 🤦♀️😳😱

Big news today for @ArlaFoodsUK: we're sad to see @AshAmirahmadi go. He's been an inspirational leader to work with and for - I wish him all the best. One of his strongest legacies is the strong organisation and team of leaders he leaves behind at Arla UK thegrocer.co.uk/people/arla-uk…

@TomGillEnviro @ArlaFoodsUK @gwilks2 @ArlaDairyUK Yes me too. For to reasons first I am an arla farmer and second my wife features in it quite a lot. Which was nice that they actually used Arla Farmers

@Rosewood_Farm @kernowbeaver The only problem is they multiply at such a rate that they take over everything I find
English
@kernowbeaver I don’t mind them, animals eat them, what’s the issue?
English
That should solve the gearbox skipping issue on the maize drill. Can you spot the new one? 🤪 #farming
English
@Wayde_Looker I think I am too tuned in I keep finding ground water nearly every 2 or 3 meters
English
@KateHoare6 We all get complacent but that cow was showing all the warning signs not to go near
English
Just shows you never no how they will react!!!

Right ladies and gentlemen, wee reminder that no matter how often you have done something before or how well you think you know your livestock, there will always be one that self selects for the next world by trying to kill you. Look after yourselves out there #murderingcoo
