Tuned in to all things beet this week is AF’s Hannah Carthy. At BeetTech, after Cruiser’s non-approval, ongoing BBRO research was valued. Clearly they’re embracing alternative solutions & new technologies to ensure the future of beet growing.

On my way to Westminster. Folks, let’s make sure we bring our best, and don’t let protestors with other motivations draw out our worst. The media want a story; let’s make sure that story is how this unjust, unfair, unworkable tax will affect hard working families. See you there!
If you see me, come and say hello 🙋♂️…and wrap up warm; it’s going to be chilly! @NFUtweets @CLAtweets @afgroupuk @tenantfarmers

Little pause in harvest, not due to rain, but 'cos the grain isn't ripe & that's because we drilled it in late January 🤦♂️
Yields so far on the diseased & weedy fields we have harvested are catastrophic ~half budget 🥺 lowest being 4t/ha <gulp>
Hope sunset's no metaphor

Plus we gifted 700 seed surprises and served 500 ice creams.
The map shows Groundswell attracts idea-seekers from far and wide and how there's a groundswell of interest in joining #AF, the national #ruralbusiness co-operative.

In just 2 weeks I’ll be running a seminar at @Groundswellaguk entitled ‘Learn from my Mistakes’ showing pictures of the errors I made in moving to regen farming. If you have any pictures, can you send them to me (and share the lessons learned!) please?
