STOLEN from a field in Barnby, Suffolk, our much beloved Hyundai 55-3 six-ton digger. Please share, and report any leads here! Very distinctive, lime green with a red patch on dipper arm. @SuffolkPolice

Oh my gosh @emilymnorton, I think you may have blown your chances of being NFU president for a few years π€£! Fair play though, telling the customer they're wrong is rarely a good business strategy. Bravo π

Just discovered the temporary traffic lights causing untold chaos in Hulver will be there until at least Nov, because @suffolkwildlife won't give @Suff_highways a license to mend the road because a badger lives nearby. Someone is going to get hurt, sort it out between you please!.

Dramatic skies & beautiful scenes at the @PastureForLife farm walk @SomerleytonHall Estate today. Was an absolute pleasure to watch @sam_bales showing off all his hard work and the fantastic results both on the ground and on four legs. Some excellent cameos from the Lapwing! π

What an absolute pleasure of a drilling season. Really enjoyed using the @HorizonAgri drill and the results look fantastic. Thanks to everyone at @somerleytonfarm, @SotterleyEstate and Raven HQ for all the hard work and making the best of a lovely season. Roll on Christmas πͺπͺπ

OSR + companions surpassing all expectations in the autumn sunshine. Can hardly see the OSR but there's a lovely carpet. All the benefits of a cover crop, with a low input (and valuable!) cash crop thrown in #diversity #covercrop #notill

BBQ season has officially started, and in style! @somerleytonfarm #welshblack rib-eyes and venison burgers. I may be biased, but that was honestly some of the best meat I have ever had, compliments to the team #pasturefed #goodmeatmatters.#regenerativeagriculture #knowyourfarmer

Five drills going today, my head is spinning but there's a lot of seed going in to the soil and it's lovely to do it in good conditions for a change! #harvest2021.

New drill planting linseed directly into an excellent green cover of. blackgrass! π¬π¬π¬. Super low disturbance drilling and a layer of soon to be dead plant matter on top means hopefully very little more will come now π€π€π€ @HorizonAgri
