This lad has set the benchmark. He has worn out more shoe leather than anyone canvassing in Makerfield. 👏👏 If you are a Restore Britain supporter, show your appreciation by giving @PeterCassidy25 a follow and a repost.🇬🇧

Incredible TV. GB News embarrass Keir Starmer directly in front of the worlds media by telling Trump UK farmers are being taxed out of existence by IHT. This press conference is an absolute DISASTER for Keir Starmer. He's visibly squirming. @beverleyturner is on 🔥

⁦@Hutchinsons_Ag⁩ ⁦@KWSUKLtd⁩. This KWS Zealum looks really good following application of 220Kg/ha nitrogen (3rd wheat) and 3 fungicides. Farmer hopes it will yield 10 tonnes ha and be acceptable to Heygates at Downham Market with whom he has a good relationship.

⁦@Hutchinsons_Ag⁩ ⁦@BritishSugar⁩ I have never seen pigeons attack sugar beet leaves as much as they have this year. Is it because the pigeon population has exploded or a lack of alternative food sources or another reason?

⁦@Hutchinsons_Ag⁩. Today is referred to as Blue Monday, supposedly a depressing day but not here in the Fens! The sky is a clear blue and this November drilled wheat after barley is slowly growing. It will not be long until it receives a dose of N S to kick it on?

⁦@Hutchinsons_Ag⁩ ⁦@KWSUKLtd⁩ ⁦@SaxonAg⁩. 8 hectares KWS Parkin growing as a seed crop at Littleport for Saxon Agriculture. It follows onions. I wish all the wheat in my care looked as good as this!

⁦@Hutchinsons_Ag⁩. Not ideal to be travelling across soft soil but we need to try to prevent blackgrass & BL weeds becoming established. The wheat is just about to emerge so it’s a ‘just-in-time’ application. Ideally it should have been sprayed within 48 hours of drilling!

⁦@Hutchinsons_Ag⁩ ⁦@greenvaleAP⁩. 2 different cover crops at Friday Bridge, Cambs. One is Solanum Scabrum, a crop grown to effectively fool potato cyst nematodes into thinking they can use it to multiply without success. The other is Maxi Cover, a nutrient balancer.
