There was a farmer on #FarmingToday who said he was having to scrap his spuds because no one was buying them.
So obviously not planning to plant any next year.
Very sad.

I don’t like animal hunts and am glad it is already banned. But in terms of priority, fly tipping is far more prolific (1m+ incidents, nearly 2m tonnes) and damaging to animals.
The recent raised fines were pathetic and will change nothing.

In #FarmingToday AI might mean Artificial Insemination, Artificial Intelligence or Avian Influenza. Confusing.

Farm vets recruited from Europe have halved since Brexit, 1000 to 500 a year. Interesting to see how many left because of it. #Farmingtoday

'Since the UK left the single market the new Customs checks on farming products cost exporters millions of pounds every year'
You could not make it up. Everyone else trades free of charge, the UK is back in the 1960s to that respect.

🌱 Following last week’s Defra announcement at OFC – which highlighted that there will be two SFI application windows this year, the first in June exclusively for small farms and farms without existing agreements – our CEO, Patrick Holden, appeared on #FarmingToday to discuss these changes.

Charlotte Church, on the radio has just said “Interrelationality”. I don’t think such a word exists, or if it does, it shouldn’t. She’s playing at being a New Age farmer though, so I suppose we have to let her off, but she should stick to warbling.

Don’t miss the brilliant John Redhead today at #ORFC2026 talking about future crops and @ukceh.bsky.social rice trials from the #agzeroplus programme. Great to hear conference manager Hester van Hensbergen looking forward to this on R4 #FarmingToday ⬇️

Some casual hatred of Brussel Sprout lovers (like me) thrown into #BBCRadio4 #FarmingToday this morning. Disgraceful at this seasonal time of year. 😂 Where was the balance too - even the farmer growing the stuff admitted his family didnt like them. Shocking 😢

Now they are growing and harvesting mushrooms and truffles on the radio.
I’m all fungi-ed out, even threw the last few of them out last night.
It’s all South East Asian flavours for the foreseeable now.

Thank you, #TheArchers tweetalongers. I’m off to look at a carrot in a tent with Charlotte Smith (of #FarmingToday and #Countryfile, don’t forget to tune in at 18:15 for a #Countryfile #TheArchers special, with Charlotte Smith of #FarmingToday and #Countryfile). See you next week!

Lily: “Let’s book a celebrity judge! I have got Charlotte Smith standing by. You know, off of #Countryfile and #FarmingToday. (Countryfile is doing a #TheArchers special later, so the BBC is keen for the cross-marketing opportunity.)”

Hmm. Azra, as a GP in a rural/farming community, should be talking to #FarmingToday about farmers mental health, about the lack of midwifery &, even more so, Health Visitor services in rural areas.
And the fact that, as a village GP, the surgery is probably open 4-8 hrs pw.

Why is #farmingtoday allowing the global warming policy foundation to come on and answer softball questions about their battery alarmism.
Why anyone got the global warming policy foundation at all at this stage after a decade of being proved wrong about everything
