With the current debate between @GeorgeMonbiot and @AllanRSavory leaving folk on both sides struggling to feel heard (including me) I thought I’d try and explain a bit more about why the grazing GM refers to and the grazing AS refer to are not the same - bear with me! 🧵 1/20.

Not one mention of the finances 🤦‍♀️. Academics - if you want research impact you really have to start undertaking financial modelling of the system as well as focusing on yield…. @Rothamsted.

I’ve been interested in the responses to @JoeWStanley’s recent post. I’m not a parent so don’t really have much more to add, but I do find it odd that many responses seem to suggest that if kids aren’t working on farm the only alternative they can imagine is rotting indoors?.

“If we don’t start questioning the voices we choose to amplify, even when they suit our agenda, what does that say about our values, and how easily we might be led?” 3/3.

“To see members of our own industry, and even a respected farming publication, lend weight to his words without scrutiny reflects a dangerous erosion of critical thinking and public responsibility.” 2/3.

Pleased to see my letter in @FarmersWeekly - although they took the last two paragraphs off. It originally finished as per following two posts 🧵

Something very different for us today…. We gathered most of the hill this week, still got a bit left to do but with a team that hadn’t covered that ground before it was an impressive effort! . Today we were checking ewes and marking lambs,very happy with how they are all doing.

Beef is back from the butcher - including these Gluten Free 100% Pasture Fed beef sausages (which are all sold out!). However, a few other cuts available so the website is now up to date - delivered frozen anywhere in the UK 🥩 .

Just calve already!! . A lame bull early in our short bulling window last summer meant we ended up extending to 8 weeks and sweeping up with old faithful Dunlouise Captain Blake. 2 left to calve and I’m bored of this now 😆. Great cow - kept her 2024 bull calf entire.
