Delighted to share my Nuffield Farming report 📕 What a fantastic experience that I look back on fondly A big thank you to all those people that made it possible and especially those that were so generous with their time, experience and hospitality 🌱 nuffieldscholar.org/scholars…

Interesting read 👇

A milestone for Down To Earth Agronomy yesterday. The first NRoSO course was held for clients in the West. Thanks to Crop Advisors for your support @BASISRegLtd

We’re very fortunate in the west to have had some moisture to get catch crops and OSR away well. Buckwheat, linseed and phacelia all flowering as a catch crop before wheat. OSR and companions anywhere from emergence to 3 true leaves

Great to be asked to write an article for the @AICC1981 on the findings from my @NuffieldFarming Scholarship. It has given me a unique perspective and the confidence to start my own business to disseminate the knowledge and experience gained along the way!

My favourite seat in the house and still great to get a chance to do some harvesting 🤩

If there is more life on a kids nit comb than a garden, we need Government to step in and end the trend. Please sign to ban domestic use of Plastic Grass petition.parliament.uk/petit…

The year of the buttercup!

With record temperatures and very little rain before Summer has even begun, we need to start taking better care of our natural world for wildlife and climate. An easy start, is to ban lifeless plastic gardens 📝 petition.parliament.uk/petit…

You're out for an Easter Sunday ride in the countryside, and this is what greets you. This needs serious punishment. A £10,000 fine and 12 month driving ban. The vehicles of fly-tippers should also be crushed or sold to pay for the clean-up.

Only a matter of time before someone mentions a hose pipe ban and it starts pissing it down again

High pressure will bring largely fine and settled conditions this coming week with some warm weather by day for most 🌡️📈 Notice though the blue colours appearing in places on the map overnight, indicating some chilly nights still to come too

My Hilux was stolen from the farm last night at 10.41. Deep red colour, PK68 OTF, no canopy. I have owned it for 18 months and appear not to have taken any photos of it. The rear mud flaps don't match. Please share, it won't have gone far.

A new one for us - taking a look at the career options available within agronomy. (not to forget, being an arable journalist/technical writer 😊)

💥NEW JOB ALERT💥 I am very excited to be assisting the Proctor Bros business in their recruitment of 2 new arable operators. 2 extremely important positions, where the operators will work closely together across a range of arable farming operations. The business runs 2x 12m @HORSCHUK Avatar drills to establish all the catch/cover crops, combinables and herbal leys. Each operator will run and maintain 1 of these drills. 1 of the operators will take the lead on the crop protect role and use a 36m Fendt Rogator to apply PPP and biological feeds to the crops. A trailed sprayer will be used during busy times by the 2nd operator. Both machines backed up by bowser support. During harvest the business runs 2x @CLAAS_UK Lexion 8800 combines, each operator will take responsibility for a machine. Additionally, the business carries out strategic cultivations during the summer period. The full time operators will work closely with the wider harvest team to complete these operations, using LD subsoilers with rip and drip liquid systems and a @vaderstad cross cutter. The business offers in return, a competitive salary, accommodation to suit the individual/family, pension, life insurance, produce from the beef and lamb enterprises and further training and development opportunities. Ideally you will have a keen interest in operating large machinery, with regenerative farming experience or a passion to learn. The business uses ipads and Omnia software for record keeping and stock taking. Workshop and estate tasks to be completed when required. An interest in / experience with livestock is desirable.
