Fascinating day spent with Defra UK staff at their 'Together Day'. Great opportunity to speak about the challenges faced by tenant farmers in these changing times and also learn more about DEFRA processes. Good to see presentation of @RABI Big Farming Survey results included.

👏🏽 Nine-year-old Rosie Thackray showing everyone how to rescue a ewe.

I and my Defra UK and RPA colleagues will be out and about at loads of shows and events again this year, eager to listen and engage: defrafarming.blog.gov.uk/put-your-quest…

Come and see us at our stand and various roundtables, talks etc if you're there - can't wait to see you all :)

I’ve had the great pleasure of meeting Tim and like many who have heard him talk I’ve been hugely grateful for and inspired by his generosity, insight, energy and enthusiasm. I can’t believe this awful news this morning. Sending huge good wishes for your long road to recovery,

A great farming friend Tim Parton has sustained a life changing injury and will needs financial support to move forward with life .One way the farming community can show their appreciation towards a wonderful friend is leaving a donation here:

Thank you.

Janet Hughes It was great to see you, Janet & what a privilege to show you round the farm, & to enrol you as a @BofinFarmers Slug Scout. Your scouting pack is on its way - those slugs in your allotment will soon be doing their bit for science!

Had a great evening at Farmers’ Club with members of Lynster farming group yesterday & a brilliant day in Oxfordshire seeing amazing work Marek Nowakawski, Andrew and Jane Ingram have been doing and catching up and doing a spot of slug sleuthing with ⁦Tom Allen-Stevens⁩ :)

Today we publish our response to the Independent Review of Protected Site Management on #Dartmoor . 🦋

This includes support for farmers who have a central role in producing food while protecting Dartmoor’s important habitats and species.

I'm off on holiday for the next week and won't be on here.

If anyone wants me, I'll mainly be on my allotment getting over-excited about spring being around the corner and trying to resist sowing things too early because I can't wait any longer 🌱💚

See you on the other side :)
