On BBC Radio Cambridgeshire with Dotty McLeod this morning talk dog attacks on sheep.
🐕 Dog numbers nearly doubled in 10 years.
🐕 64% admit their dog chases animals
🐕 39% of owners say dog has little/no recall
🐕 2/3 of owners let their dog roam off lead
🐕 46% believe their dog wouldn’t kill

The comments on this post are alarming. So many people parroting the #ClimateScam nonsense and sharing the latest disinformation.

These guys aren’t big enough to help on the farm this harvest so we’re looking for some help. Experience essential, but we’ll also look after you well. Family farm, many crops, harvesting and planting. Southern hemisphere guys and girls considered too; come for the summer!

This is the world’s largest seed drill. It is 214 ft wide, which is over 65 metres wide, and nearly twelve times bigger than my drill. I think it does a hectare every minute. They farm on a different scale in Australia 🇦🇺, huh? (2/2)

Waiting to go live on The World at One talking about how farmers can (and are) combat the effects of climate change…

I had the chance to plant my pants on Saturday, much to the amusement of our regular farm walking group!

Planting cotton pants (underpants if you’re from 🇺🇸), shows soil biological activity, as active soils break down natural cotton fibres faster…

You are so confused! Galileo was persecuted by religious zealots like you for insisting on respect for evidence. And it is clear that your extreme ideology prevents you from accepting the overwhelming evidence about climate change.

First time this ‘last 7 days’ figure has dropped down below 15mm in months. Constantly having half an inch plus in the past 7 days has stopped farm planting operations. A dry window now means all systems go. Hope you’re all dry too elsewhere in the UK…

I think Ill go this meself, and I a protestant and all.

All set up for our farm #walk this morning. We’ll look at some hedge laying, enjoy the OSR in full flower, #Plantyourpants , squelch across 2 miles of wet fields, and talk about the current pressures on #farm . It’s been such fun doing walks for 3 years every 6 weeks.

It seems Matt Ridley thinks The Telegraph readers are idiots

Let's run the numbers:

244,000km2 = area of the UK
5-10% = share of UK Matt says would need to be covered with solar to meet electricity demand in June

40MW = solar capacity per km2
500-1,000GW = solar capacity, if…

From horticulture to fishery to dairy, the UK’s farming industry is under huge pressure.
It’s no wonder farmers are eager for an organisation that will amplify their voice, writes Farmer Tom 🧢 🇺🇦

Farmer protests usually have two c’s, writes Farmer Tom 🧢 🇺🇦: causes and catalysts.
But should they beware of being linked to a third c… conspiracy?
