Awesome bit of research! .The full report is very readable too.
š¢It's well known that cell grazing ššcan boost productivity, but a new 4 year study suggests it can improve soil health as well. Read the full story š.

Tell me youāre lambing, without telling me youāre lambing:.
I think sheep are great. Iāve always loved sheep. Sheep piss me off. Sheep massively piss me off. Cows are way easier than sheep. All of these statements are true.

Iāve been up in the Lake District for a week following Groundswell (what an amazing place that was!). Super impressed by the amount of wood pasture creation all over the northern Lakes. Well done to all involved, itās going to look beautiful!

Pretty pleased with the amount of blackthorn blossom on this hedge. Lazy farming for the win!

āCorrelation doesnāt equal causationā springs to mind. Iām not defending pollution, thereās no excuse for that. But to imply that being in RT makes a farm more likely to pollute seems a bit shaky to me.
This seems a classic case of selective interpretation of data. The vast majority of larger farms are in Red Tractor, especially in more risk-prone sectors. Smallholders likely to be lower risk, but also non-assured.

Making use of Cornwall Councilās Forest for Cornwall grant and planting some trees along this fence line. They should give some shade for the rotational grazing that we run. I definitely recommend the grant to other farmers - show the world we can have both trees and farming!

Really cold today on our #FarmNetZero walk at one of the Demo Farms. But an excellent opportunity to look at outwintering options for cattle. Main takeaway is it is cheaper than housing on this farm and therefore has a lower carbon footprint.

Brilliant interview with some absolute top farmers!. Mike mentions how lucky he is to have great advisors based in Cornwall- I think weāre even luckier to have such progressive, open farmers who are contributing so much through the #FarmNetZero project!.
For our most recent case study, we caught up with Cornish farmers, Mike and Sam Roberts about the changes they have made to increase profits and reduce the carbon footprint of their suckler beef business. Read more here:
