You keep saying 30k people visit every day,and I don’t doubt you , but why don’t at least ten per cent bother posting. I bet I could name he twenty or thirty that post 99% of all the posts

the stats actually show a lot more post than you think but i think as humans we only have ability to see a group as so big, ( maybe it’s goes back to our tribal roots ?) I often find myself seeing a username I think is new only to click on it and see they have been here 4 years and posted thousands of times ! Often just in areas I have no interest in


how many people read Famers weekly vs contribute to it ? Truth is most people are more reader than writers I guess, and that’s fine, we are all different . But the numbers don’t lie, they are the numbers, there is no artistic licence and they are independently audited and published etc for all websites

How about starting a poll?
Then we’ll soon see a true percentage of us who like/dislike it.

Me - couldn’t stand the green and was relieved to switch it back to blue.
Very difficult for those of us with reading glasses to read without quickly getting a headache.

Good riddance to the green!

change it (in less time than it took to write that post) or live with it for just 24hrs while the show is on ........... what colour shall we go for when Cereals is on ?

I changed it back to blue this morning after I saw how to do it from @bitwrx, while my head was hurting.
Pain gone now thank goodness!
And yes, it didn’t take long to do.

For Cereals just leave the bloody thing alone and keep with the blue please!

Is that better?
Marginally, but still sends my eyes bonkers, especially on my phone! When I first saw it this morning I almost gave up on TFF, thankfully the option to switch back to blue works, although it's hard to do that when there's a mass of swirling green in front of your eyes.

Whilst I get the reason for doing it, more care & consideration needs to be given to how things such as colour & style changes can affect those with various conditions. In my case, although not dyslexic, I struggled - especially where the topic titles were all in green; it was also very close to triggering a migraine.

I think we should be doing what we can to support these shows, many are experiencing a very difficult time (fatal in some cases), ,many will not survive I suspect and we will miss them

Ha ha! Yes I agree.
But giving us reading glasses wearing bar stewards a headache in trying to do so, won‘t help them either!

I was having a long shower after washing the Combine down today and suddenly thought that I’ll miss Wimbledon on the telly this year.

We have Moreton-in-Marsh Show always on the first Saturday in September. I think they are still wondering if they will be able to hold it this year or not.
But whether they do or not, please don’t change the colour again. It is really annoying!

One thing I am finding this year is that I am able to be extremely up to date with everything because I’m not being interrupted by meetings and events. Even the post is virtually zero, which is a blessing.

Yes, not too bad Chris. Surprising good with the orangy yellow.
But the main print in Blue is much better than the green for grassland anyway.
That almost gave me arc-eye.

I had an email conversation last week with @allimcg, who is stuck in the USA, not having seen her husband or children living in the Republic of Ireland since February.

I think she will be very pleased with it.

I sent her this photo my daughter took and she was asking if they could use it for cereals 2021!

I also told her that the weather forecast for 10/11 June is awful here and that lightning might have struck twice for the same event twice in two years!
Let's hope next year the weather behaves for everybody at the right time.
