'The farm earned Β£15,000 last year. That works out at Β£3.80 an hour' Jonathan Charlesworth tells Robert Jenrick his father took his own life fearing the family farm tax would mean he couldn't pass down his farm, warning the policy is 'putting lives at risk'.

Not a great morning, cows broke trough the fence and destroyed the ten bales due to be fed them over the next few days. All the fun of winter bale grazing - but in the summer! Thanks a bunch #drought20w5

At the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society last week and great to see a few house martins. Sadly lots of evidence of nests that had fallen, at least 1 must have fallen recently as an adult kept flying to where it used to be. Perhaps fallen due to the recent heat Nature Friendly Farming Network RSPB Cymru #housemartin

A small win! Planted 10 acres of Cotswold Seeds in mid may & its had hardly any moisture. I assumed it was dead but the crop of fat hen was stunning & grazed well, but now the lay has appeared! Bottom end of the field is brash so none of the grass lived. Overseeding this Friday

I'm not sure where this started to go so wrong but I now find myself BRIX testing apples! Norfolk Beefing hitting 13.8 on the refractometer. Not sure on the science but paired with Wildfarmed M&S biscuits and Yeo Valley cheese its the perfect supper

Having finished our latest coppice harvesting contract today on the Cambs/Bedfordshire border, I thought I would put together a series of short videos to explain the work in more detail and explain why woodland management is so important. Thread 🧡 #Positiveforestry
