It’s raining. Fill your boots lads!

This is what a lifetime of work means to rural people. Thank you @charlottebsmith for bravely asking the questions. @UKLabour are you listening? @TWBFarms @agricontract @wheat_daddy @darrenpjones @HarrietCross_MP @TorstenBell @KemiBadenoch @Nigel_Farage

Exploring regenerative farming at Lower Blakemere Farm, one of the Duchy of Cornwall’s seven Focus Farms. The Gorringe family showcase sustainable practices, including repurposed structures and composting projects.

The Prince Of Wales is on an engagement roll this month and today visited Lower Blakemere Farm in Hereford. The multigenerational farm is part of the Duchy focus farm initiative on the Duchy of Cornwall. Prince William got his hands literally dirty learning about the new farming practices in grain and the Worm-made compost...🤢🤭 I love how he went from Farmer's Barbour look outside to business casual inside: Dressing appropriately for the occasion is indeed a form of good manners and breeding. #PrinceofWales

"Net zero" means balancing the greenhouse gases we produce with the amount we remove from the atmosphere. Farmers are absolutely key to achieving this. Lower Blakemere Farm in Hereford is working towards net zero through regenerative farming.

This is so sad I have no words What makes it worse it’s the 3rd case of this I have heard of in last 6 weeks 😢 @Keir_Starmer @NFUtweets @BBCBreakfast @meaglemp @loosecollie @IanByrneMP @EstherMcVey1

@No1FarmerJake @MolsonCoors @carling @HorizonAgri @tallisamosgroup @JohnDeere Similar Saturday activity but in our case following a failed crop of wheat which succumbed to the pre-em …

For any @NoFarmsNoFood doubters, see below and why I’m proud to be a part of it.

Forcing farmers out isn't the solution in any way to a “greener future”. UK farmers are indispensable in securing our food supply and safeguarding our environment. 🌱🌾 #SustainableFarming #LocalGrowth #NoFarmersNoFood

@wheat_daddy @DavidButler34 Lifters and the Convio flex is even better The geometry between the knife and lifter point is maintained all the time meaning no bulldozing and exceptional lifting laid crops Control of the header is accurate enough to leave them on most of the time (we only remove for rape)

Nothings wrong with them David. My post last night about the JD on demo created a lot of discussion. Header performance was mentioned and who was the best, that’s all. On our NH, lifters are only needed in extreme situations and sometimes then, you’re better without, most Claas, (non convio) have them on constantly.

Excluding MacDon and other flexi headers, which is the best, without crop lifters?

@loosecollie Think yourself lucky you’ve only got one load left ….. 🙄

Having loaded the last of the sold wheat (sold in January), there is some left. (1 load). Should I be grateful or disappointed? Should I be forced to admit to selling at the bottom of the market? #wheat #mixedemotions 📉

Wow wow. What a brilliant article by @JeremyClarkson on what this government has done to 🇬🇧 agriculture @theresecoffey take note thetimes.co.uk/article/1b9252…

After an evening with Cheerful Charlie at Herefordshire ag club,I pinched this slide. 8% of farmers produce 57% of food from 33% of the land. What a stat. @ceresrural #cheerfulcharlie

@loosecollie At least you’ve got a choice of three fingers with your condom substitute …

Same with both disposable gloves and condoms. A shame in some respects. #bighands

@LEAF_Farming That is very sad news .. having known Caroline for many years my thoughts are with Phil and Gabby .. who is the same age as our son. What she did for agriculture was inspirational and probably unrepeatable. She leaves a huge legacy and I feel privileged to have known her.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of our beloved CEO Caroline Drummond MBE, who passed away yesterday. Caroline transformed LEAF from small beginnings 30 years ago to where we are today. There are no words to express how much she will be missed.

Likewise … most welcome 😎
