Maize strip tilled into grass…no glyphosate on this bit, only pendamethlin post emergence. This might just work the chopper might not enjoy it 🤷♂️
Slow out the blocks with a strip till demo …impressed with the concept agri into 4 yr old ley after 1st cut. But since when has glyphosate been like monster energy for red clover?! Not that that’s a bad thing 🤷♂️
Anyone know what’s happening here? Or know anyone who will know what’s happening here?! #bumblebee @RoyEntSoc
Shameless use of social media after a long while saying nothing (sorry!) We've had a website re-vamp and there's a careers section, including a nice number working with the great team at Grosvenor Farms... grosvenor.com/careers/workin…
Brilliant #NuffCon21 presentation from @scottgarrettuk it’s not the big who eat the small but the fast who eat the slow
Interesting day @NHAG_UKandROI presenting #biomethane tractor no longer just a concept. Good fit with the #circluarfarm for net zero ag…if your bio methane if from waste feedstock
CSS advisors of twitter...tried asking NE not getting a sensible answer so why is SW5 "Enhanced Maize Management" not allowed in the same parcel as SW16/AB8/ WD3 etc? Seems ludicrous... So we can't protect the soil and enhance the habitats in the same parcel? #processoverprogress
Bit of grass & bit of strip till maize...bit of rain, which would of been nice if we weren’t doing a bit of grass!

60% of the time, it’s works all the time. Quite happy to have damp socks for the rest of the day! #rain
Still signs of horrendous winter & early spring in field of triticale & vetch, did a few runs with the injector then abandoned it can see to the line, up & down like my lockdown haircut. More nutrition going on a treat with the @VogelsangUK backpac #wheretheresmucktheresmoney
Maize having a drink. This is the plant equivalent of that first cold beer on a scorching summers evening after stacking small bales to the rafters in a tin roofed Dutch barn. #ifyouknowyouknow #FarmOn #imissthepub

Please share my message to @BorisJohnson and all MPs. Tomorrow marks the start of a historic moment as the #AgricultureBill returns to the House of Commons.

So, dear Britain, we are warned. Here is a Govt MP & chair of @CommonsEFRA wanting it in the #AgricultureBill that UK doesn’t lower standards and it’s rejected. I don’t like this. Nor should anyone who wants all people well fed from high quality food. Shame on @MPGeorgeEustice
Trying some spring wholecrop options after a wet winter. Spring Triticale and Vetch mix battling on in the dry. Somethings chewing chunks out the vetch...slugs?... leaving the triticale alone. Looking forward to getting the forager into this in a few months.
