Uk population expenditure on fresh food V ultra processed food. No wonder everyone’s sick 😩 no wonder the NHS is broken. @UKLabour it’s not the farmers who broke the NHS. When food leaves our gates it’s a health food. What you let companies do with it after that is on you. Yet…

Seem familiar? The great agriculture depression 1930’s. If weather patterns continue in this destructive manner & politicians & the food industry don’t wake up to what’s happening, this could easily happen again 🤷 @LabourPartyUK @TWBFarms @wheat_daddy @loosecollie

Figures😏😔 Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds bbc.com/news/articles/…

Olive oil is super healthy- full of those polywotsits. Is it🤷 To me the approach by this olive grower should be what all regen farming aspires to. The main focus is on human health and creating real nutritional value in food. youtube.com/live/hL4eyopjW…

Some serious questions arising about the legacy that well meaning environmentally friendly grassy headlands are going to create for the future. Persistently extremely dry conditions have prevented the grass from growing/competing properly. This is just this growing season

Farming isn't for the faint-hearted – there are no profits to harvest moneyweek.com/economy/uk-eco…

Figures😔 Wheat straw in the swath & peas all but ready to go….

Another record broken. We have never combined winter wheat as early as the 16th July- not even 1976. Heavy land. October sown. 14.9% MC

Ah yes. The @UKLabour fiscal policy in action. This the plan? @RachelReevesMP bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Well I never. Turns out when you dump increased taxation & other burdens on to businesses & don’t listen to the very people who help drive growth, confidence drops & the economy shrinks. Who knew🤷 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This👇 Whatever your view point, it’s what has happened & continues to happen

Well I wasn’t expecting to be in these again with how dry it’s been 17mm over the weekend. Not sure how I feel about it with most crops close to harvest now

Meanwhile in the US agweb.com/news/policy/po…

Lots of great stuff again at this years Groundswell but the data mountain being assimilated by the excellent Dr @davidpurdysoils at the Lamport Project stands out as some of the most insightful for our farming, showing that we can make big gains in soil health & control b/grass👍

After yesterday’s shambles in Parliament where @TheLabour benefit reform policy disintegrated, what are the chances that they will row back on their IHT & BPR changes now🤷😢
