Still in possession of the 7 tonnes of organic barley to sell if anyone is interested??
I am in possession of 7 tonnes of organic barley, it had been intended for malting but a change in circumstances means we are trying to find a home for it, would any of my Twitter friends know a farmer who may be interested to purchase it as feed?
Only beginning this beautiful book by @BellaBathurst and already I am mesmerised. Never has something resonated quite like these powerful words, “no one understood the time it took, the hope it used up, the unrelenting gamble in pulling a life out of earth.” #growingflavour
Eldest son is looking to become the next big agri entrepreneur! He needs an impact grain dehuller, and whilst his dragons den pitch was impressive I’m not inclined to spend 4K on a new one to start things off and wondered if anyone has one lying around??? Or a bright idea?
Tonight I will be joining @mrblairbowman ⬇️ to discuss the wonder of Scottish barley and the power it and its growers hold to add value to our whisky industry. The future doesn’t change just by thinking about it, we have to get out there and sell our story and write a new chapter
A few words on why we believe Scottish barley and those who grow it have so much more to offer, an invaluable commodity we say!
At Crafty Maltsters we want to put barley on the big stage, give it the limelight it deserves and shout loud and proud about what it and its growers have to offer. What better day than #InternationalWhiskyDay to share a few words with you on why. craftymaltsters.co.uk/blog/2…
This MUST be just the start. Over 3 months, people have given time to do their very best for the industry. You may not agree with it all, may feel we have missed things but please agree that only by working together will we realise the opportunity Scottish agriculture represents
The sector-led groups set up late last year have published their reports providing advice and proposals on action for key farming sectors to reduce emissions and tackle climate change.

We will now take some time to analyse what the Groups have said. This is the start of a very exciting journey that will change farming and food production in Scotland for the better.”
Thank you to @FergusEwingSNP for initiating this process and to the new administration, we will be ready and waiting for the next step. The length and breadth of the country you have an army of people with the passion, resilience and capability to deliver, what an asset that is!
