This is what a lifetime of work means to rural people. Thank you @charlottebsmith for bravely asking the questions. @UKLabour are you listening? @TWBFarms @agricontract @wheat_daddy @darrenpjones @HarrietCross_MP @TorstenBell @KemiBadenoch @Nigel_Farage – at Fownhope, England

@RachelReevesMP @Keir_Starmer @angelaeagle @EmmaforWycombe I suggest that if you haven’t done you should watch tonight’s episode of #Countryfile. Tear Jerking. You will have blood on your hands come April time If you do not amend the family farm tax. @EllieChowns I’d like to see you in parliament fighting for the farmers of North Herefordshire…

Lower Blakemore Farm is part of the Duchy of Cornwall. Prince William is making sure that resources get spread to places where they’re most needed. This is how governance of farming should look. Not Rachel from Accounts writing bad policies.

Exploring regenerative farming at Lower Blakemere Farm, one of the Duchy of Cornwall’s seven Focus Farms. The Gorringe family showcase sustainable practices, including repurposed structures and composting projects.

The Prince Of Wales is on an engagement roll this month and today visited Lower Blakemere Farm in Hereford. The multigenerational farm is part of the Duchy focus farm initiative on the Duchy of Cornwall. Prince William got his hands literally dirty learning about the new farming practices in grain and the Worm-made compost...🤢🤭 I love how he went from Farmer's Barbour look outside to business casual inside: Dressing appropriately for the occasion is indeed a form of good manners and breeding. #PrinceofWales

"Net zero" means balancing the greenhouse gases we produce with the amount we remove from the atmosphere. Farmers are absolutely key to achieving this. Lower Blakemere Farm in Hereford is working towards net zero through regenerative farming.

Forcing farmers out isn't the solution in any way to a “greener future”. UK farmers are indispensable in securing our food supply and safeguarding our environment. 🌱🌾 #SustainableFarming #LocalGrowth #NoFarmersNoFood

After an evening with Cheerful Charlie at Herefordshire ag club,I pinched this slide. 8% of farmers produce 57% of food from 33% of the land. What a stat. @ceresrural #cheerfulcharlie

And delighted to be heckled by @FarmrPhil whose willingness to progress his farming, and that of others, is undinted. And an example needed now more than ever.
It’s been quite a week so far. Working on better communications with another bright cohort of #tescofuture #farmers in Cheshire and then today with @LEAF_Farming in Somerset with Duchy of Cornwall Focus Farms. Chez the great Jeremy Padfield whose farm walk was truly insightful.

Maybe I’ve missed something @cop26 but I find it strange you never hear much discussion of what must be the main reason the planet has come under so much pressure in the last fifty years. You ain’t going to feed this lot with a natural wilderness.
