It is real farming. It doesn't matter whether he makes a profit or not but he is farming nonetheless.

Not as strong though...

Saw three over here yesterday. Looked to be travelling still.

Can't you just use another bit of wire to tie it on?

But do you know any farmers who haven't enjoyed watching it?

I would argue that he has been a good ambassador for UK ag. Most, if not all farmers I know have watched and enjoyed it. The comment "He has done more for farming in one series than 20 years of Countryfile" has been made several times. And several non farmers have said to me how well he...

Phil Stocker on farming today. He said only a very small part of the market for lamb uses red tractor. He went on to say "farm assurance is a good thing" but forgot to add "but only if it benefits the producer".

Getting quite serious for RT and AHDB.

Don't make me laugh, can you find any farmer who's happy with RT?

You don't think they'll question why farmers can't keep producing at a loss while the supermarkets clock up profits in the billions?

You make it sound like this is something new. As for viable break crops, SFI looks very appealing to me.

Isn't this a symptom of a broken agricultural system, when the only crop or one of the only viable crops is dependent on a banned chemical?

Why would they do that?
