I never go into the canteen at Northallerton but whenever I walk past nowadays it looks like nobody else does anymore. Always used to be heaving Tuesday and Wednesday but now once breakfasts are finished it’s dead

I remember going into the “Shropshire Lad” as a little lad at the old Shrewsbury market. Cooked breakfast and lunch, full bar, clouds of smoke …… line up at the desk and get paid in cash ….. those really were some days
It’s now Tesco.

Yes uts the reason why farming is going through the mess it is now. If it wasn't for gwp100 no one would have ever thought of getting rid of the cattle and sheep because they would be able to see that they aren't a problem.
I tried to get gwp100/gwp* onto the agenda for the Welsh protests but it got so far and then sort of fizzled out. I think no one really understands it so they ignore it because they think it's a load of sh!t. Some people who were quite enthusiastic about it asked me to do a video explaining it it's somewhere on Facebook and tiktok
but it still didn't really register with people.

I think it could be a semi-positive message:Here it is before anyone asks

I'll not argue.Rubbish 2 years ago grain prices went to nearly £300 a ton on the back of low fert prices to grow it.
The sheep trade 2 years ago did not jump anything like the grain price did.
Straw now is worth a fortune, £150 ton + delivered in the SW yet arable farmers cannot be bothered to bale it and would rather chop it so that is £150 acre + chucked out the back of the combine as its too much work to bale it/ stack and load the straw... 1000 acre arable farm that equals £150,000 thrown away yet you say they need more help than sheep farmers in the form of subs.... aye right
Yep sheep prices have been okay the last 2 months but that is off the back of some very low prices the last 4/5 years!
Just keep more sheep & less arable, seems to be the way to go.
I don't agree with the rewilding, not at all just creating a tinder box. Commercial forestry does have a place, but for timber not full of weed bushes.

Did say in reply to one of the questions in the SFS consultation that they should be using GWP star and not the flawed GPW 100 not that I am up to speed with the science but understand enough to know its being used to screw Welsh/uk livestock farmers.Here it is before anyone asks
Weather enough respondents would have said something similar for them to take any notice I don't know but I doubt it, (take any notice I mean).
it will be round tuther way soon enough

Yes there’s bars in a lot of them don’t really get in there for a pint though
Absolutely we could (should?) do it if they did it right. But it's in no one's interest but ours to do it through GWP-star but ours.
If we were allowed to use GWP-star and add in what the grass sequestered we would find out most grassland farms had spare carbon to offset something else. It could be very valuable.
We will struggle to get it though. Governments want our carbon and biodiversity net gain through their sustainable farming schemes, supermarkets want it through their assurance schemes with their greener farms Commitment. There's a thread on gfc you should read it they're basically trying to make you give it to them through red tractor.
And hardly anyone has noticed yet. The British farming Union on here and the national sheep association are the only unions I know fighting this it's a bloody disgrace how we're being treated.
