Exactly two weeks to go until #AICC26 and we thought we’d remind you what made the 2025 AICC Annual Technical Conference such a success? With @Jack Axtell, an agronomist with @ApexAgronomy. #independent #agronomy https://t.co/nAvvqdIaR2

He lied to farmers. He promised to support farmers. But instead he betrayed them. Keir Starmer is the ultimate snake oil salesman. Don’t believe a word that he says.

@CatSmithMP and @amcarmichaelMP asking some very direct questions of the PM. Starmer admits he knows some farmers are considering suicide because of his policy, he knows there are changes that could prevent this, but he is choosing not to change course. Words fail me.

Alistair Carmichael lists all the majority-Labour select committees against the family farms tax: "Why do you not listen to your own party colleagues?" Starmer: "I do listen to party colleagues all the time." Carmichael: "And then do what you're going to do anyway."

Removing our right to trial by jury and the right of farmers to protest. This Labour government is wafting out totalitarian dictatorship vibes. They'll cancel elections next, and the King's speech.

Absolutely outrageous. Sometimes it seems like we have protests in Westminster every week - but when it comes to our hardworking farmers who work day in, day out to feed us all - the powers that be block them from holding a rally in Whitehall on the day the Chancellor is about

Rachel Reeves in opposition: “Now it turns out that the very people at the top making these rules, didn’t think that it applied to them.” This is why I don’t have any sympathy for these hypocrites.

🌱 A decade after the neonic ban, UK #OSR yields have crashed, imports soared, and we’re buying from countries still using the banned chemicals. 🚢 More emissions 💷 Less profit 🌍 Unfair trade It’s time to #RebootOSR — rebuild sustainable, homegrown production.
