Groundswell. Where is the press coverage?

[Wolds Beef]

As title suggests. Have had a look but very little coverage of the different speakers speeches!

The two weekly farming publications go to press on a Wednesday I think, so maybe next week. Probably.

 

[primmiemoo]

A snippet on Farming Today this morning. Not much time given to it compared with the Govt spokesminion telling us to eat less meat to make room for tree planting

 

[Sid]

Perhaps there was nothing new to be reported?

 

[CopperBeech]

The men from AHDB ..... in a session said we should stop keeping so many breeding sheep and fattening so many lambs. But should keep a big pet flock of rare breeds to eat the living mulch and cover crops instead, as there wasn’t a big enough market for lamb so we would knacker the job grazing cover crops productively ........ excellent work guys .....

I'm sure you put them right....

Aye just about I had to leave the beaver talk as I think I’d have embarrassed you and your daughter if I’d started it was really grinding my gears

Just as he told the arable farmers off in day 1 session 1. Start as you mean to go on

And to an extent yes. Beavers, trees, public access.

Whilst there were some amazing messages at groundswell there was a small camp of the “how to make your massive land asset you own keep paying you lots of money without having to farm and produce much food”.

That is the core message of the wilding lobby. It's sad to think about it, really.

 

[Samcowman]

@CopperBeech you get my vote to be on a panel next time then you can properly ruffle some feathers

 

[CopperBeech]

Funnily enough a few folk said I should have a talk I do enough of it. but someone has to give the side of the tenant farmer / grazier. We don’t all own large estates we can use as the canvas to create all of these wonderful things. And some of us need to produce food ...... to sell ...... to it our house rent.

 

[nonemouse]

extensive coverage on farmers weekly pod cast, so probably in print magazine next week

The press have got better things to do than cover this rubbish.

[snarling bee]

Sounds like one or two of the speakers were at the wrong event.
