Lol. None of those titles include actual farmers!

I'm an industry player - I play at farming.

Saw it on Twitter last night, thought DEFRA were already on a farming forum!!! :LOL:

I know some find it hard to believe, but the majority of UK farmers aren’t on here. I’ve also spoken to quite a few lurkers, several of which count on the membership figures, who don’t feel comfortable posting.

Maybe DEFRA consider their opinions as valid as those they see on here?

trouble is , this forum of experts are meeting together to identify and decide on solutions to the common problems in our industry.

@Janet Hughes Defra could you tell your colleagues to come on here at TFF, a much better resource for innovative solutions!

I wear bib and brace, and often a cap. Couldn’t give a monkeys what folk think. It’s practical.

I’m a farmer not a beauty therapist.
I wear betacraft iso940 trousers and parker, dedito boots and free Exlana woolly hat. I'm mostly covered in mud, astride a dirty quad bike stinking of dead sheep with a feral mutt or 3 hanging off the back.

I am always smiling though. Life's too short to be a miserable pansy.

You sound like a rare species that should be on the endangered list.🧐
Might have to use you to scare off Monbiot and Goldsmith if the rewilding
gets any closer. :D
