Quite ironic that had the @metpoliceuk not stopped the official protest, there would actually have been far less disruption!

Last of the winter crops emerging nicely and a good chance to get post em’s this week. Nice to put crops to bed for 2025 🤞🏼

Min tilled maize after grass on a dairy, looking at the earthworm activity I don’t think the soil is in a bad state 👌

Big day today, first ever time selling in market… first animals to leave the Churchtown Farm. Nice to have something positive after 18 months since taking the farm on!

Makes me so so angry the lies he spouts and isn’t held accountable for. Sustainable farms need to be able to plan + have stability. Something @UKLabour don’t understand. But it’s fine because as @SteveReedMP says NHS waiting lists have gone down so all is well in the world 🧐🧐
'This government is supporting farmers with more investment' 'You broke a pledge to them!' Katherine Forster asks Steve Reed about what the NFU has called farmers' 'torment with worry' due to government policy.
