“If you care, care now, not ten years in the future when it’s all gone. We need your support now”. Making no apologies for how cutting and clear my commentary is. Defra UK Steve Reed Rachel Reeves Keir Starmer do the right thing. You are ruining our country.

HELP! The Govt rushed through Inheritance Tax changes with no proper consultation. Family farms & businesses are at risk. Jobs, heritage & communities will be lost. I’m taking them to Judicial Review — please support 👉 #SaveFamilyFarms #StopTheFamilyFarmTax #BackBritishBusiness #NoToUnfairTax

On my way to Westminster. Folks, let’s make sure we bring our best, and don’t let protestors with other motivations draw out our worst. The media want a story; let’s make sure that story is how this unjust, unfair, unworkable tax will affect hard working families. See you there!

Peace plan: Trump should be prepared to give away the same percentage of USA to Russia that he asks Ukraine to give away. It’s biblical (I know VP Vance cares about these things): ““Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12 NLT

Last year we received a Farm Innovation Grant from Anglian Water to buy this stubble rake. Today it’s working in perfect conditions supporting our #regenerative #farming system. Spreading harvest residue ✅ Disrupting slugs & their eggs ✅ Spreading organic matter down soil cracks ✅ You can apply now for this year’s grant until midday 30th July: Soil health is river health. Thank you 🤩 #sustainability #soil #farm #soilhealthmatters #agriculture #sustainableagriculture #regenerativefarming #regenerativefarminguk #regenerativefarmingtips #soilhealth #regenag #regen #notill #cleanwater #water #protectourwater #cleanwatermatters #cleanrivers

The Circle of Life…or if I wanted to be more controversial: ‘MEAT; it’s in your bread’. Today we are spreading CalPhos - a fertiliser product with phosphate and calcium, as our soils are very low phosphate. It’s a great, organic fertiliser. And it’s derived from meat processing. In butchers and meat processors, anything that can’t be used, sold, or exported (like chicken feet!) has to be incinerated. The resulting grey dust is ‘CalPhos’ which will support our arable crops for the next 2-3 years. We spread it ahead of our milling wheats which will be sown in the autumn as they have a high demand. Nature is a carbon cycle of life, death, and seasons of thriving and just surviving. As a ‘largely’ arable farmer I rely on other sectors in a big way. • if my wheat doesn’t make human consumption grade it can go for chicken or pig feed rather than being wasted. • I could sell wheat to produce biofuels (although the remaining bioethanol plant has just closed with just as big an impact as the steel furnace except UK Prime Minister didn’t want to save that one (massively affecting wheat prices and farm profitability here in the UK). • I exchange straw with neighbouring beef farmers for the manure that comes from their cattle yards providing the best natural fertiliser you can get. • when the price of wheat is poor, I can grow other crops such as barley, beans, rapeseed, oats, or grass to keep the farm profitable So you see how we need each other in farming? We are one sector, one industry, and we also steward 71% of the UK’s land area! So, ‘meat…it’s in your bread*!’ #plantnutrients #farming #ukgrowers #sustainable #tractor #fertiliser #nutrients #plantfood #regenerative #regenag #regen *#vegan disclaimer - this post is not meant to antagonise vegans or vegetarians; it’s an educational post about sustainable UK regenerative farming.
