Amazing stuff from team National Farmers' Union - getting the farming👨🏼‍🌾 message out to the public & to politically engaged listeners 👌🏼🔉 On a personal note very excited for this, 3 people I rate all in 1 podcast! Just need minette batters to write a book now…? 😃😎

An animal carcass is about a lot more than meat; nothing goes to waste. Another, usually ignored, strand of the sustainability argument.

We’re excited to share a video of our recent on-farm school conference with LEAF Education and British Nutrition Foundation. This event brought 160 students closer to their food and farming through hands-on activities, farm tours, and talks from industry experts.🚜 👉ow.ly/fLR850QrHhp

My letter in next week’s FW.

I’ve heard all this before. Populism, which leads to one thing only: Betrayal 😡

A number of challenges facing 🇬🇧 farmers at the moment, but meeting so many dedicated people at #NFU24 makes me confident that we have a positive future 💪🏼 Great to listen to such inspiring speakers too Jack Bobo, Nigel Owens MBE and of course minette batters 😎

Great to have the opportunity to ask🗣️ a question at #NFU24 last week about communicating the positive message farming 👨🏼‍🌾 has to a wider audience 🌍 Really positive talk from Jack Bobo before highlighting the impact of polarised debate to the farming message 🚜

I had a brilliant morning at Grosvenor Farms 🐄 Down to Earth with a great speaker line up 🎤. Key takeaways for me - 1. Reaffirming the importance of measuring carbon📐 2. Exciting possibilities for the future🚜 2. Sharing dairy’s great story together outside the industry🗣️

Interesting from new Defra UK SoS Steve Reed this morning - The Labour Party’s manifesto mention of ‘food security as national security’ formalised as a ‘core priority’ of his department. Many cross-departmental discussions to make that a reality. But a positive start.

Time really does fly, 1 year working with Lely already 🐄🎓🔴 Good to reflect on what was such a great day last year Harper Adams University 😃🤩

For a fraction of the £ farmers could deliver carbon capture tomorrow in biomass & soils - but the sustainable farming budget is set to be cut.

IN PARLIAMENT TODAY: There is a debate on farming and food security. It has been reassuring to hear the new government repeatedly recognise that food security is national security, but now we must see an increased multi-year agriculture budget to match words with action🧵👇

BOVAER. Should you be worried? In short: no. Let me explain... Firstly, wtf is it? It's classified as a "feed additive". The active ingredient is something called 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP). Chemically, this is a primary alcohol (similar to ethanol) and a molecule of

A brilliant piece highlighting issues facing 🇬🇧 Agriculture. So important to share the these issues with a wider audience. Kudos to Ed Conway & the Bower family 👏🏼

Your reminder, should it be needed, that the populist right does not care about farmers or our concerns. We’re just a vehicle for their wider aims, for as long as we’re useful. Do not be taken in.
