@EdinvaleFarm @NuffieldFarming @scot_stu @Ettrickgiles Going well, thanks. Slow and weak but improving daily, especially now I'm back home. Andrea and our son, Tom, seem to have the farm well in hand - maybe I should retire!😆

@BarnsideFarm @NuffieldFarming @scot_stu @Ettrickgiles Was a fantastic visit. Was hoping to come and see you as well. Trust you are well on the road to recovery?
English
Been very lucky with my @NuffieldFarming farm visits recently and getting to visit @scot_stu and @Ettrickgiles was no exception. Great line drawn on maintaining growth, generating profit and generating a saleable premium product. Great chat on outwintering (or not) weaned calves

Someone once told me that they lambed ewe hoggs just often enough to remind them why they didn’t do it every year 😂. Hopefully this year will be different 😬. Romney composite hoggs lambing to Shetland rams.

Cars numbered 2 & 3. Finished 3rd & 4th @ Centenary of Le Mans. Brilliant result. @scot_stu @earlbamber @CadillacRacing Great occasion for an organic beef farmer and his proud dad

@cjtaylor92 @NuffieldFarming Good luck with it all and enjoy!

✈️ The first part of my Nuffield journey begins 🌎 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇳🇿🇮🇩🇯🇵🇦🇺
Packing for 8 weeks - different climates and numerous dress codes has been one of the biggest challenges so far 😂
See you in May, Scotland ❤️

@bet_till @howemill @freshy1973 @ThePasturePod Stick with it, Bethan, it's an interesting angle that sets up the rest of the podcast.
English
@howemill @freshy1973 @ThePasturePod Sorry, 5 min it switched it off. So negative, not my vibe at all!!! I'm an open minded but very optimistic person. 😅
English
Absolutely love @freshy1973’s point on Ep 3 @ThePasturePod about the UK obsession with “lambing” as a verb…have good systems in place, the right animals for the systems and let the animals get on with it - they’ve been doing it for millions of years.

The future is bright!
Really enjoyed hosting Harper Adams final year students again, what a great group to share our farm and philosophy with.

Hitting the big time! Today Joe was down in the “big smoke” chatting in The House of Lords. Representing farm vets and farmers scratching a living in the North…….

@BarnsideFarm @andrew_tullie @brucemcconachie Agree with Charley...sometimes you don't want to be hassled...I found that dressing like a farmer but wearing a sheep's heed #scotchlamb around the show meant no one spoke to me...no schoffel though... it is summer after all 😂
English
I struggle with the Schöffel.
Very practical, comfortable piece of clothing, but every bloody unoriginal agri-drone wears them.
I can't think of a culture that is so desperate to identify themselves by their profession but lacking in originality!
Anna Jones@Jonesthejourno
Been thinking about the #Schöffel. Do you love or loathe a Schöffel? "Rite of passage" or a "Scrotum Jacket"? What does clothing say about the urban/rural #divide? Check out what the farmers say in my latest blog 👇 jonesthejourno.com/2022/06/25/the…
English
@andrew_tullie @brucemcconachie It can be a boon though. We've often dressed "up" for one day and "down" for another when we want to avoid idle chat with joe randoms!
English
@brucemcconachie I went round numerous machinery stands at the RHS as 6yr old loves big kit as most wee farm boys do. I was dressed in shorts t-shirt and trainers. Not a single rep bothered to talk to us. Turns out if you don't dress like stereotype farmer they don't acknowledge you.

Whether British farming is at a T junction, a cross roads, a roundabout or a cliff edge depends on who you talk to - here it was definitely a road people were enjoying driving on

Four grazing Scottish heros talking through their what and perhaps more importantly their 'why'. 👌
