Putting brash to good use (hopefully) on a sheep farm with the creation of a ‘dead hedge’

Looking forward to seeing plenty of enthusiastic people at the Nuffield Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 event tomorrow. I am sure it will be inspirational. Come along to Builth and help make it a success.

George Monbiot You are revisiting data based on GWP100. GWP* suggests these figures grossly over estimate ruminant sources. oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/news/2018-news…

A couple of weeks off lambing and Mule yearling ewes have a faecal egg count of 600epg. Worth looking at egg counting or speak to your vet about targeted treatments. Not all ewes might need a treatment = good for reducing wormer resistance

Glen Peters Hannah Ritchie For me it is hard to believe that in the year 2020, people still convert the flow gas methane into CO2e units (which does not predict warming). CH4 shows very different behavior and in contrast to long lived GHGs, is oxidized in one decade. These figures ignore these “nuances”.

‘Let’s not talk about ‘low skilled.’ Everyone is skilled, some people are low paid. Language must change - it’s insulting’ says Carolyn Fairbairn to applause at #NFU20. Interesting to note that we have big issues in agriculture - in the care sector there are 100k vacancies now too.

Why????

Last triplet ewe hanging on in there - but at least the other 59 have lambs. She’s now got her own pen and demanding to be fed every time she see’s me 🙈

Indoor lambing. No overnight checks.90% lamb survival from 56 triplets and 95% survival from 5 quads. Lots of pet lambs. Luckily I like um!!

After 10 glorious years with the Tru Test XR3000 it finally needed replacing. My brain said the Easiweigh 7 would be fine but my heart was set on the ID5000. Today my heart won 😍@DatamarsAgriUK

What a day to mark out subdivisions of the fields ready for autumn grazing

Listening to the skylarks #upland #farming

Listening to the bees on the Rosebay Willow Herb #farm #hedgerow

Looking for people interested in setting up pig and poultry enterprises using regenerative techniques. This is part of an early stage project - location is West Wales. Please RT

And so it begins .....

Because we believe in bees, trees and farming ⬇️
