Countryfile tonight

[primmiemoo]

It’s not a farming programme but a snippet of features about the countryside that more often than not doesn’t cover farming at all. It doesn’t really cover the countryside objectively either. More a shop window for the “environment” lobby most of the time. Should be called “Envirofile”

Finally found room for a Vet to voice her concerns about the lack of large animal vets, tonight, though.

Thought you were straying into Bald Rick territory then ....

That would all depend on what sort of beaver you thought I meant

Missed that bit

Um, I think it was this week's programme, but apologies if I've muddled up with last week ... or maybe watching two episodes in one day brings on hallucinations

Tonight, about 10 minutes in. It was Molly, our vet who looks after us so well.

We call it "Fluffyfile"

I had the misfortune to see a re run of this programme this morning as I passed through…

The ‘farmer’ anchor, Adam Henson, was tagging a new calf, and then explained to his audience that the numbers on the tag referred to his farm / holding and the calf’s individual ID number. And passport, which was then all logged on a central BCMS data base.
He enhanced this to British Cattle Movement SOCIETY

No correction to Service and no upgrade to CTS either. From that do we assume that Adam does not actually do the background work for his animals himself? Surely not.

Have NOT watched the bbc or countryfile in a long time!
But I have just looked at the guide and Tom Heap investigates claims that by 2050 the UK could run out of water.

Good job we won't be producing food by then........!
Useless baastards!!

Just switched it off

A nice item about the apprentices, though. Ellie has a good, patient manner for lambing.

I can quite believe it, by then they will have run out of farmland to plant trees on and rewild, the only land left to plant will be that taken up by reservoirs.............let the water go, it’s not needed, we can get all the water we need from the tap.

Probably tried to pension him off but the robot doesn’t understand and just keeps turning up.

That Heap lad annoys me just as much.

If the UK runs out of water I presume flooding will be a thing of the past. Sounds like a reasonable exchange!

I don't know how you guys watch it. The whole ethos of the show infuriates me.

There will be wars over water in the future although not UK for the foreseeable future
