I’d love to go & work Cambridge City Council get paid for a 5 day week, but just work 4 days! Don’t think it would quite work that way with farming!

Got to love these sort of people. Gate locked? Not a problem we’ll just cut a hole in your hedge instead to get in to your fields. Apologies in advance for the language but put simply, arseholes.

Raining here this morning & I could have sworn there was none forecast for here last night! Seems to be a one day on 2 days off type of harvest at the moment!

Would love to have seen Keir Starmer face when #DonaldTrump spoke about supporting farmers & tax yesterday. That wouldn’t have been remotely uncomfortable at all, well done GB News for asking the awkward question yesterday. #trumpscotland

After a year off, rolling the dice & popping some KWS UK Ltd Hinsta in to some lovely conditions this afternoon.

Wow what a test series! #ENGvIND Think 2-2 is the fair & right result, absolutely tremendous hard fought, high quality test cricket. You can’t beat Test cricket like this for sheer drama & intensity. Ridiculous that such a great series was crammed in to 6 weeks &

Bit of nostalgia discovered in the loft if you were an 80s kid & it’s unopened! 📻

Stage one OSR, it’s through the ground, here’s to the next 6 months of chasing things off that want to eat it!

Trial plot harvesting day, wonder if it will throw anything interesting up? I suspect there’ll be a couple of things which I’ve noticed this year that could, but we’ll see!

Harvest done✔️ rare chance to grab a short coastal break with the family in early August, why not!?

Mole draining some wet zones from last autumn/winter, surprisingly sufficient moisture at depth to hold a nice enough mole.

Cover crops just popping through the ground, surprised considering how dry it’s been. And KWS UK Ltd Hinsta OSR absolutely motoring along in the warm weather.

Saw this classic earlier today.

It’s really very galling when you turn on the news to hear of higher inflation, especially on food. But as farmers we are seeing a continual slide downwards of farmgate prices. Someone’s making a lot of money - and it’s not the producer!

Different view for a couple of days.

Paris being the hub of fashion that it is, this guy is displaying the latest trend for inclement weather, the wicker basket!

Didn’t think I’d say it, but I’ve really enjoyed watching the The Hundred this year. Another cracking game tonight & batting performance from the #OvalInvincibles some of the batting in these games has been quite outstanding.
