Some really strong commentary here on the Government’s sudden decision to suspend the Sustainable Farming Incentive, which will now force many farms towards intensive measures to survive.
A few words on the massive consequences of govt suspending applications to the Sustainable Farming Incentive last night. A disaster not only for farm businesses & the rural economy, but also food security & our nature & climate targets.

Extra special delivery today - to boat Indian Runner - preparing for the OGA60 round Britain cruise. Wishing them luck, good wind and calm seas. At least they now have a great ingredient in the galley - and something useful to hand should they hit troubled waters! #oga60

It’s been a tumultuous few weeks for us - our eldest had to have surgery. But we got home from hospital Saturday and she’s now wheeling around like a pro. Today she has been making banana bread (recipe on our website - it’s child’s play!) https://t.co/SPNRWKoAxY

Any excuse for a Victoria Sponge - especially when it’s made with our rapeseed oil. It makes cakes light and springy, tastes lush, and has has about 1/6 the saturated fat of butter. Check out our simple sponge recipe. https://t.co/ZNrwxZXWFA

The fields have been alive the last few weeks and it has been great watching the bees enjoy our insecticide free crops. I haven’t dared post much - demand has spiked, so I wanted to press first! But we’re nearly there and will have great availability from Thurs. 💛

Amazing news for us from @Tasteofthewest - we’ve been awarded our 1st gold! So chuffed - we love our oil, and nothing beats feedback from customers - but to be recognised by the TOTW judges as being up with the best feels great! Thank you for your support as always! 💛🏅

Great piece in @FarmingUK about how growing crops without ploughing (as we grow the seed for our rapeseed oil) supports farmland birds. By helping soil health it better supports earthworms and beetles - giving farmland birds precious winter food.
farminguk.com
Numbers of farmland birds on fields established by direct drill or min till can be 1000% higher than conventionally established areas over winter, study says.
