Which soon takes the enjoyment out of what we do . So I’m looking forward to new challenges expanding both sides of the business . Never say never on the arable farming front as I’m sure it will come right again one day #backbritishfarming

Ive decided to look to shift my focus on to our beef enterprise and my mobile milling business along side with producing animal feed for farmers and smallholders . It’s bittersweet as I enjoy arable farming but for the amount of passion I put into it isn’t reflected economically

Bit of winter ploughing to be getting on with . Jcb making the job comfy as ever . Bittersweet knowing this will be the last time I plough these fields as this autumn I decided not to renew my tenancy for this October . With current market pressures that I can’t see improving .

However I’m not leaving farming or packing up . We will continue with the beef enterprise pushing that on our home farm , rearing sustainable beef aswell as our contracting operations mainly our mobile milling and more excitingly starting our new venture

Think labour might be worried , seems a well organised event is a no go but if you want to free Palestine in a angry fashion that’s okay , good luck to all going today . Let’s hope this shambles of a budget isn’t too painful

Felt like I was getting behind waiting for some form of black grass chit but some of the best autumn conditions I’ve drilled into , drills actually pulling up a slight bit of dust

Fodderbeet out and in getting it cultivated ready for wheat . Fodderbeet yields look depressing . Only upside is the beet come up well and clean and it’s giving the fastrac a chance to show what she’s made of - animal 👍🏻

9 years since we last had a fastrac on farm and they’ve come along way from our old 145 turbo . Let’s hope it’s more reliable than the red one it replaced @JCBagriculture

Doing something different with the mill today , kibbiling some maize up for a local shoot , a nice little trial to see if it can be done and it can . Getting contact if you want some doing or some regular milling and mixing

A very late night and a early start and the rolls is caught up with the drill even double rolled the top of this hill to dry break some clods up to help pre em , just started to spit with rain - job satisfaction hope next week to get the other farm inbetween showers #drilling25

Heavy land all in . Drill off rolls on 45 ha to roll before it rains at 11 tomorrow . In for a long evening me thinks been a few years since the rolls have made a autumn appearance

Not used to drilling in the autumn and having the nice problem of worrying about getting it rolled in behind the drill , going to have to burn some midnight oil - even when wheats worthless we still want to give it its full potential #brokenfoodsupply

Definitely a loser having not started drilling wheat until now on our heavy land farm , the kind bits are Lovley the heavy bits are cobbled but hopefully get it rolled before the rain that we could definitely do with . The mighty 6920 on drilling duties as always

Probably ought to think about drilling at some point , being patient as still so dry here in the fens #octobersthenewseptember

Drill baby drill , plenty late for redclover with a long term lay being reseeded but as you can see it’s bloody dry - was originally going to plough it but with how dry it was I just powerharrowed it couple of inches now going through with the combi and looks a good seedbed

Imagine telling everyone to pay there fair share then don’t pay it yourself #starmerout

I’ll say it quietly but I could do with some rain .. hasn’t rushed onto cultivations as it was so dry and hard - it’s still hard and dry . Feel a bit behind being everyone on @X seems to be flat out drilling

Sunday morning feed at the milk bar , really enjoying rearing calf’s and seeing them grow , apart from concentrate and milk powder and locally produced Stockfeed they are fed on all home grown feed and the Stockfeed only comes 10 miles from the farm #sustainablebeef #foodmiles

Not done this before but going full mixed farming and chucking some box muck on 10 acres of grass as an experiment to weather we should do this rotationally on our grassland #mixedfarming #amimakingamess

American farmers first while completely destroying uk farmers , wheat markets already trading below cost of production 🤯
