    Today at work

    We weld homemade furrow splitters on the plough to plough land that goes over a bit 'whole' like that , breaks it up a treat.

    Red tractor stakeholder survey on governance

    I have told neighbouring farmers that RT and the NFU are no good to us anymore and they just shrug their shoulders and carry on regardless. They just want to do their own thing and keep their heads down . It is sad that business men cannot see what is potentially round the corner. They will be...

    Defra Staff seek 4 day working week

    If the work can be done in four days instead of five then I suppose it might work for some. The annoying part will be if you need to specifically need to speak to someone they may disappear at the end of Thursday and not return until next Tuesday morning. A 20% pay rise is not going to be...

    Red Tractor review ? How ?

    If RT are to be allowed to investigate themselves then surely we should carry out our own farm assurance inspections. O life could be so much simpler in my practical world that I wish for.

    Coffey gone!

    I think my schooling and practical opinions might be a stumbling block👨‍🌾👨‍🌾. Too much practicality might confuse those in the corridors of power. Anyway it might be dry enough for me to plough tomorrow, I would much rather do that🚜 in all honesty.

    Coffey gone!

    Politics is becoming a weary joke to many people with no continuity or ability to address the multitude of problematic issues. How can I get on this gravy train that is going nowhere but pays well?.

    Your current weather.

    We are wet but better off than some. Still a lot of potatoes to be lifted and a fair bit of drilling that may or may not be done now. Foggy this morning first thing with rain yesterday. Nothing worse than a wet autumn for how we farm nowadays to try for the best returns.

    Well said Andrew Ward!

    Andrew has ruffled some feathers clearly. It is up to those that are still members of RT and NFU to stop paying. The BRC (supermarkets) will still buy your produce to fill their shelves because without stock they soon have empty shops but with stock shoppers continue to walk in the door. It is...

    Well said Andrew Ward!

    Just watched Andrew's presentation . At last someone is standing up and saying publicly what a farce red tractor has become. It is now or never to vote with your chequebooks guys. If red tractor disappeared from the supermarket shelves by lunchtime I would not mind betting that shoppers would...
