A ‘little’ failure job here I used to think nothing about & now,the next morning,my old knackered hip is absolutely killing me,all caused by one stupid little awkward lamb that I had to leave cos it disappeared on me.I can’t do rough terrain now & felt like I was going to fall.😩
They have literally done the complete opposite of making sure that funding has gone to as many farmers as possible! This dork seems to be bragging that one fifth of farmers have got into a scheme!! 🤪🙄 This government seriously needs to speed the next window up with more funds.

British farming is on the brink of total collapse, and I am utterly fed up of the champions league bullshitting we get from politicians and civil servants.
I outlined to the head of DEFRA exactly why SO many farmers are SO furious with how we are being treated.
Come on government;it really isn’t rocket science! How are you going to to meet any sort of environmental targets without making the required & necessary funds available so all farmers who wish to participate can do so & it should be able to be done at leisure without a scramble!
I never realised the original pot was only 180 million!! 😳 Can the government not see that this is all just pissing against the wind pathetically paltry numbers! I reckon about 10 times the arrived at 300 & odd million is what’s required to keep the biodiversity in farming! 🙄
Bit of a sad & not to say very expensive day at Hawes mart having to do a spot of restocking after not being able to invest for a couple of years for various reasons. I did buy more than I intended influenced by no more funding for the nature friendly farming I have been doing.😔

Oh I’m shocked and surprised… said absolutely no one
We just turned away thousands of farmers who wanted long promised funding to do their bit to make it better
It’s going to get worse
Way worse
As I’ve been saying for years
I have spent over 25 years of my professional career to research and demonstrate how to reverse the decline of #farmlandbirds. We know how to do it, but are lacking suitable policies to pay for it. theguardian.com/environment/…
My sister has just sent me some aurora pics from up Swaledale! Anybody else seeing owt?! I never ever have! 🙈😩
