Anyone got a price for straw this year... 4ft or 5ft bales.

A first for me today - a visit & inspection from the Scottish Government #BeeInspectors. An outbreak of #EFB a few weeks ago, they wanted to check all the #BeeBase registered apriaries within the vicinity of the outbreak. Glad to say all healthy & no issues. A really interesting visit 👍

Cost of #Fertiliser has tripled last few years, #Steel for sheds has all but quadrupled, #Climate change is creating more problems for #farmers than ever, #water scarcity is a genuine concern even here in #Scotland. Wake up Rishi Sunak & Liz Truss Who's going to talk about it?

Haven't we all!

To my farming friends, family and farmers everywhere working SO hard at all hours this time of year. Thanks to you all 👍 #harvest2022 NFU Scotland The Scottish Farmer All Things Farming
