Countryfile tonight

[melted welly]

It’s a strange world really isn’t it?

The housing of cattle is vilified by the well to do, but then we’ve people putting this sort of shite on prime time tv and it’s fine:

Or cats kept in flats, fed on processed food, unable to exhibit normal behaviour, exploited for the owners own ends for entertainment and company and in some cases as fashion accessories.

Easy to judge others I suppose….

That programme really really winds me up!

Click bait. What a horrid little pathetic paper the express has become.

Recycling what a few nutters have said on twitter. Very lazy journalism.

You forgot about the ones that let the cats out doors, a Cat is a hunter by nature, and it tortures its pray to death, never a clean kill, but plays with it and put the pray in misery until it eventually dies

Feckin cats will clear hedgerows of fur or feather, I know some like them around the buildings but a good hunting cat can do some damage!! I’m not a cat person

Countryfile viewers ‘horrified’ by Matt Baker's dairy farm segment

COUNTRYFILE fans were left "appalled" by a farming story presented by Matt Baker on the BBC show on Sunday night.

Been a backlash at cows being housed and zero grazed.

I've seen this in my news feed quite a lot too. Some criticising the bbc for promoting this type of farming.
What if the good old beeb have done this on purpose to whip up more anti livestock hysteria?
Personally I wouldn't let the bbc/countryfile lot anywhere near.
A mate of mine keeps his high yielding cows inside, the one's that go out quite often spend a lot of time at the gate wanting to come back inside.

Yep they seem to always look content on the few zero grazer clips I've seen , every thing they want in front of them Out of the sun or rain wander around a grass padock if they want to

Absolutely. The manager of a local poultry farm who has organic free range and fully housed birds told me the healthiest birds/eggs are the indoor ones but it's all about perception with Joe public.

Points Of View this morning had a few adverse comments about the cows on zero grazing. BBC responded by pointing out that zero grazing was considered as "Good Practice" by AHDB

One comment was that Countryfile should be about celebrating the countryside, not talking about farming. Funny, I thought the countryside was farming.

Certainly, a country view is 99% influenced by the way it's farmed

Routine use of ABs was "good practice"

Interesting wax art on this evenings episode !

 

[Bury the Trash]

As said before but it really is now Best for farmers not too watch it any longer , too much silliness for even a remote chance of a 'good ' bit.


Meanwhile else where.......On the 'one show' tonight was a really good piece narrated by Alex Jones, about silage making on a farm in NI , well described and filmed and the lads filmed came across very well, ... well done

 

[BrianV]

Even on fast forward it was 4 wasted minutes I will never get back, it's time it was renamed I would have thought!

It was a good piece, and informative, but I wouldn't put it past the programme to show a staring-eyed AR activist spewing lies about farming pretty soon ... for the sort of faux balance that these programmes dish out.

Just caught me out, started before I could turn over.
What sort of idiot puts squirty cream on a bowl of strawberries before removing the plugs/stalks.
twit’’s

 

[JCfarmer]

I haven't watched countryfile in a long time but this evening it caught me out also, since my new show started on Amazon I notice tonight there seems to be far more farming clips at the very beginning of the programme than there ever used to be?
I realise I have nothing to fear from countryflie I might add!
