Made the mistake of assuming our last outlying field of winter wheat would be the same as the others. Now combining 7 acres at a rather damp 21% and trying to find a shed corner to put it in to dry it.

Great day for picking spuds

Just found this whilst subsoiling and drilling! At least 6ft across and 20ft deep! Never knew it was there!

600-700kgs of Extase C2 winter wheat seed available if anyone needs a bit to finish off a field. Redigo Deter treated. Long Sutton area for collection.

I’m committed to growing potatoes for 2022/23 season but won’t plant another crop if we can’t make significant improvements to our returns. Production costs have exceeded sale price for last 3 years and input costs are now out of control. Morrisons Tesco Sainsbury's Asda

Right! Enough is enough! Loss leading supermarkets you are the pits! Not a jot in movement in retail price and yet producer (and packer) costs are hitting the roof. Feed costs have gone ballistic! Defra UK you need to do something

#Farm24 Winter wheat harvest now done, here’s almost the same shot of the combine from last night with and without a lovely sunset!

Yet again our expensive Sencrop - Connected weather for farmers 🌡️❄️🌦️ weather station is not accurately recording the rainfall (and yes I have recently cleaned it). 17mm vs 25mm. 47% more rain caught by the traditional rain gauge!

So todays rainfall has brought more differences with the “analogue” rain gauge and the Sencrop - Connected weather for farmers 🌡️❄️🌦️ . 30mm vs 21mm: it’s the same story as usual: Sencrop consistently under recording rainfall. The problem is that farming needs accuracy and we’re not getting it

It’s 10pm on the 29th October and it’s 17 degrees. ?

A beautiful February evening sunset, only slightly ruined by the fact that a good lot of my wheat fields look like this. We have had nearly 500mm of rain since the middle of October and the wettest autumn/winter for about 200 years!

Dodging the showers drilling sugar beet today.

Double standards?… Norfolk County Council claims MV Ruby left port to discharge fertiliser at sea. A government spokesperson added: "Ammonium nitrate is not a persistent chemical, and with sufficient dilution, it will dissipate without leaving a trace.” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This is one of the best summaries of how the government are hammering UK farmers on so many different levels. Please take a few minutes of your time to watch and listen. Support our farmers. Our food security depends on them. Save British Farming 🇬🇧
