There will always be farming, and there will always be a George Monbiot.
The latter, I would suggest, will never outweigh the former.
Let's not get too upset by it.

Maybe I should have just gone to church.......🙈🤯😭🙏 never have I experienced ground so wet. Tillage payments (and tams) for southern Ireland, environmental schemes for UK (and productivity grants). Zero here, apart from beef carbon reduction scheme 🤣 1/2

Great night out.
Proper social, and really good buzz.

Tomorrow is another day....
Chafer Machinery Fendt UK & Ireland

Pinched a fingernail in a baler last August.
Taken until mid April to see the last of the damage.
Will try not to do it again.....

For those expecting a silver bullet, do not be surprised to find that this is a long term, collaborative project.

Farm Herefordshire partnership will continue to provide assistance, advice, and the opportunity for engagement in a solutions focus.

Is there a better written scene than this?
For me, it is perfect. Sad, happy, warm, and beautiful.
Who deserves the last brownie?

Definitely not hd ready.

If you are even thinking about suggesting that the 'weather is picking up next week', as has been posted every week since February.

DON'T.

It's better to wait and see.

Sarah Bell Rachael Brown Perverse methodology. Herefordshire is one of the most sparsely populated counties in England, yet has one of the highest GDP from farming….unless it’s been dry over there martin williams ?

The RPA is to pay farmers £130/ha to restore flooded land - but only very specific fields, within 150m of very specific rivers, as identified by satellites between 2 and 12 January 2024. Don't all the RPA - they'll call you.👇Farmers Weekly Country Land & Business Assn fwi.co.uk/news/weather/f…

5 days of rest and recuperation here St Michael's Hospice, Hereford. Herefordshire is privileged to have such a wonderful facility. I can't praise the care I received enough. #ProstateCancer get yourself tested before it's too late

Now that's just taking the mick....

How cheap does food need to be to become attractive?
These Indian grapes have been priced 4 times to get a sale.
The food supply chain is a complicated beast.
I doubt anyone has made a profit on this sale?

Sunday morning.
The smell of the bacon roll made me think about Cereals Event
