    Which is a terribly polite way of saying “it’s sh1t.”☺️

    Forest fukup

    Ultimately, they’re scamming their customers with this tree nonsense, they’re beastly to their staff and I see absolutely no reason whatsoever to inflict their sh1t beer on my digestive system… and their beer really is sh1t!😇

    another farm gone

    It’s not being rewilded. Lots of rumours flying about, and very few of those spreading them will have actually spoken to the new owners. It won’t look like it does now, lots will change and this will no doubt provoke many angry letters to the Western Morning News but, it will still produce beef...

    BASIS Exciting Update! = £55 price increase

    Well, I never knew that! 50 points is tricky to get to for a one-man-band without an HR department looking after your registration for you.

    Who dumped the beaver?

    100% where my money is as well. The little poison dwarf has form in this department too!

    Cutting hedgerows from 1 March onwards

    I'd be a bit careful. The rules now fall under the legislation you've highlighted. Hedge trimming could easily be interoperated as "damaging or destroying the sheltering places of wild animals" regardless of whether you've checked for nests, and realistically are you going to check every meter...

    The Wildlife Trust: Dial 999 if you see anyone (neighbour or farmer) trimming a hedge after Thursday

    I hope anyone calling 999 for this gets done for wasting police time!

    Red tractor spot inspection

    Glad to hear your partner is on the mend. Based on this alone, you need to lodge a formal complaint with RT, include your vet in the conversation and get NFU or similar involved. You've got all the evidence you need to show she requires "retraining" and that you should be reassessed by a...

    Does anyone know how the OP got on?

    Carbon sequestration - trees and grass

    Carbon is sequestered by both but, obviously, with trees the carbon sits above ground in the wood and with grass its sits below in the soil. Plenty of data to show pasture holds lots more soil carbon than woodland, and woodland holds more biomass carbon than pasture. So it’s not necessarily...

    Charging for precision farming data?

    Different companies seem to handle this differently. The company I worked for previously always treated it as "the farmers" data and they could do what they want with it. This had exactly the same cost implications that you describe but, it's still their data. However, the big companies often...

    Saving Red Tractor

    You do live and learn! We’ve been dealing with this sh1t for years you know?! As for demands… As a customer, I demand an Aston Martin. I will pay the manufacturer less than its market value, I want to inspect the factory multiple times during the manufacture of my car, I won’t pay a deposit...

    Nope… The Trading Standards Officer will check items including: Movement records Veterinary and medicine book Rat baiting plans/competency Veterinary and medicine storage Pesticide storage/competency for spraying Agricultural fuel storage Feed storage and preparation equipment (e.g. mixer...

    Saving Red Tractor

    less than 10% gets to the farm gate as a rough guide. My, slightly narrow, selfish and wildly unrealistic, view is dump Red Tractor, tell the super markets to get f*cked and say to the public that, if they want to buy food, come see me and I’ll sell you some food. You can see it being grown...

    Saving Red Tractor

    If the industry suddenly decides to stop paying for it, and deny access to assessors, I would suggest they would have little choice but to come to the table. The fact that Red Tractor is a scheme you’ve not thought much about before now kinda proves our point as well, it’s worthless from a...

    Saving Red Tractor

    Is that not covered by the law and trading standards? Surely we are not permitted to produce food that is below standard or not fit for human consumption? Have farm assurance by all means but, we are told we have the highest food standards in the world, so meeting those legal standards...

    🤣 Doesn't the minister now tell us we're "taking the mickey" by doing that?!

    Saving Red Tractor

    I beg to differ! If it provides zero value premium at the farm gate, is paid for by the producer, and imposes standards on UK producers that are not imposed on international producers with access to the UK market, then it is simply a barrier to the domestic market for domestic producers and...

    Did my advanced cereals this time last year with him online. Course materials are good and he teaches well but, yeah, doesn’t beat in person if you can.
