A super weekend at the English Winter Fair, great to catch up with folk and come home with some tickets. Delighted to win the Southdown class with a pair of 45kg Chaileybrook The Stag sired wethers, with these then going on to take the reserve native championship.

@herdyshepherd1 And the same would largely be true in sheep systems too I’d expect. Forage powered, outdoor lambing systems suited to local environment etc…will deliver in future. Get the maternal genetics right and the rest falls into place

If your dad’s business plan is to work harder and longer and feed things more bought feed… go and get another job, you’re farm is screwed We’re gonna have to radically rethink systems to make enough to live from family farms

@CVOCymru Under phase two, can Scottish livestock attend 'green' markets in Wales alongside vaccinated English and Welsh animals?

It is important that we all recognise the implicit, and cumulative risk in progressively removing livestock restrictions, and the balance that must be struck between the ability to trade and the increased risk of disease incursion. twitter.com/WGRural/status…
Welsh Government Rural Affairs@WGRural

Bluetongue update. From 18 August, vaccinated Welsh livestock can attend English markets within 20km of the border (including Hereford, Ludlow, Oswestry & Shrewsbury). Same-day movement only. Read more 👇 gov.wales/changes-blueto… #KeepBluetongueOut of Wales

@puncherton @APHAgovuk It’s unrealistic to think it’s spread can be stopped. We were lucky it didn’t spread further last autumn, but warmer temps will likely see it move quickly. Midges don’t respect boundaries or borders. This move should help trading, particularly in the autumn.

Nothing provides a more timely reminder of the state of national infrastructure than an email with tips on how to prepare for power cuts…….and there we were thinking green energy was going to power the nation 🤔

It’s becoming increasingly clear why Rachel from accounts is struggling with simple maths…..apparently she’s going to declare the value of something which can’t be paid for. Anyone else struggling with that one? 🤔

@herdyshepherd1 Spot on. It's PR bullshit of the highest order. I've got a strong suspicion that even those of us who have already submitted applications will not get an offer. Highly suspicious of whether capital claims in stewardship will be paid too.

@RupertLowe10 Can we first get the terminology correct please? Halal refers to the saying of the prayer before slaughter. What I believe you are asking for a ban on is non-stun slaughter. The two are different things and mustn’t be confused. The halal market is vital for UK sheep farmers.

As a farmer, I have deep concerns about the impact of halal slaughter on animal welfare - it is unnecessarily cruel. I asked Govt to commission a study on the subject - the answer was due on Jan 16th. I have heard nothing. My opinion is that Halal slaughter should be banned.

Why trumpet the securing of private funds to upgrade water infrastructure which is already privatised? It should be privately funded, it’s private companies that have failed to invest in maintenance!
Steve Reed@SteveReedMP

🏡Our Nature Restoration Fund will speed up the building of the new infrastructure and homes across the country 💧Securing £104bn of record levels of private investment to upgrade our crumbling water infrastructure to support the building of homes, datacentres and gigafactories

@herdyshepherd1 When we sign up to a stewardship agreement we have to provide evidence we can fund the works upfront….it would appear we now need to request the same evidence from @Ruralpay that they can reimburse, preferably not signed by @RachelReevesMP

They’ve lied Cheated Misled Withheld monies promised Underpaid Gaslighted us And betrayed our goodwill and trust And this is, I repeat, withholding £ that farmers have spent on nature recovery NOT on production subsidies which no longer exist
Matthew Blair@ThrimbyFarms

The last 2800m of fencing complete on the today 10k we have done. No hedge plants been bought to complete this project until we get the capital claim money and our annual mid teir money. Some saying it could be June. This isn’t a small issue, this is buisness breaking issues.

@horton_official So, there's money for a task force, yet no money for the actual tress under capital grants......Yes Minister couldn't even come close to this shambles!

Is there anything the government loves more than a task force? Seems it sets up a new one each week. Today’s: “A new Tree Planting Taskforce has been launched today to oversee the planting of millions of trees across the UK”
