Quick public service announcement. Not sure anyone will see it but… in the absence of good signal @what3words still works (I had sketchy signal/3g) so make sure you have it on your phone!
#Easter eggs, fresh from chickens: Sparkles, Chickarita & Suzi, are a wholesome treat for TAP’s Jenni Green.🥚
As adored family pets, these happy hens help with #sustainable#gardening too – giving egg shells for slugs, manure for compost & brilliant beaks to peck-up insect pests. 🐔
Today's Twitter Poll: Do you know a farmer (or food producer) directly, either as a customer or as a friend?
The aim is to testing how personally linked people are to UK agriculture.
PS Thanks to Jan_Mccourt for suggesting this poll.
Today I was at a show where I asked a rep to sell me his product in layman’s terms, as we were last farming at the turn of the millennium and things have moved on a bit 😂 the rep said “that’s when I was born” 😂😂🤦♀️🤦♀️😂😂
John came up with the brilliant Estate Poster inviting donations from loaders, chefs etc. The donation box raised £636 in total. Thank you! If you'd like an Estate Poster for next season, print one out from here: thegamekeeperswelfaretrust.c…

It’s 3pm on Monday 15th January. Temperature 3*C and much like a farmer at harvest time I’m feeling anxiety building as… my neighbour is mowing their lawn….
It’s January. Have I missed something? I’m sure this was forbidden! 😬😬
Pretty sure my parents (mum) have nailed the Christmas card selection this year! How lovely is this?! I’m such a sucker for a dog (and cat) pic!
Well done @BritishRedCross I ❤️ this! #DogsOfTwitter#art

If you're shooting ducks, geese and woodcock please do take part in the @BASCnews Wing Survey and keep a look out for your regional event where you'll find out about all things wildfowl monitoring, conservation and what the data we collect can tell us 🦆👀📊
Planning ahead is key to many things in life, and wildfowl wing collection is no different.
BASC will hold the first-ever #WingSurvey Week on 26/2/24 - 4/3/24, announced today to give shooters time to start saving those duck, goose and wader wings. 🙌🏻

Returning home from my first and most amazing trip to the Scottish West coast. 🏴 This time yesterday we were watching stags have a face off on the hill. Today? M6 car park🥴
Fair to say I didn’t miss the presence of people! But I very much miss being surrounded by nature 🥰
Aside from the excellent rendition of “big red combine harvester”, I think the highlight of school
Harvest festival has to be the kids talking about apples and how they can be used to make ciderrrrrr (said in unison with a proper job zumerzet accent!)
