Plough Sunday. Lovely start to the day.

Is it a biscuit? is it a decoration?
I suspect it will be both #Wildfarmed.
Hung high out of reach of the dogs.

New hedge session 5 (I think). The end is in sight, yey 🙌

Don’t judge me. It needs to be warm when I come in from working outside 🥴

Are you ready for the responsibility? 😬

Had my #Wildfarmed farm audit today. Pleased to pass, hope I get something nice again🏅

The new wood has arrived, 300 trees in 2 boxes!
Sign ordered too, best get digging 😓

MERCI: a simple method and decision-support tool to estimate availability of nitrogen from a wide range of cover crops to the next cash crop - Plant and Soil Background and aims Cover crops can efficiently increase nitrogen (N) recycling in agroecosystems. By providing a green-manure effect for the next crop, they allow reduced mineral fertilisation. We de...

No but I am aware. Thanks for the reminder.

Assessing cover crop nutrition values this morning to get a handle on potential nitrogen and other elements being recycled to the spring cash crop. 1 mt/sg harvested ✂️, weighted green and will be dried for dm/ha calc. Green sample to lab tomorrow for analysis. Labrador assistant for scale.

I sort of feel that when my steps count is more than 10k but in reverse. You’ve accumulated, I’ve expended 😄

One of the many reasons we enjoy a Waitrose shop 😋.

Having signed up on here I realise I haven’t posted much as it’s a bit slow on farm ATM and days have been admin heavy ☹️.
To put this right I’ll post this as a reminder of why we take our farm custodian responsibilities seriously. Generations 4&5 #familyfarmtax

Done 👍

Had a splendid day @GWCT @allertonproject today with fellow @wildfarmed growers.
Tacky underfoot but sunny. The Rutland area is very beautiful.

Hi Jono, it’s nice here but am missing the full screen experience on a tablet. Must check my settings or faqs.

😬 not heard of that before. Last year the linseed had gone over so wasn’t a problem.

Two best pics of the day from the #FarmersMarch The view from the stage must have been amazing. Proud to have been there to be counted

Not quite everything will get to the #farmersmarch food bank. You’ve got to love the appetite of a Labrador.

2/2
Please bring a pair of boots or wellies to wear in the field and some clean footwear to wear inside.

The day will be split into 2 starting at 9am. We will spend the morning in the fields, then take a lunch break, followed by a presentation from Frederic going into more details on cover crops, soil fertility and regenerative agriculture. We estimate the finish to be at 3pm.

🐑🐑🐑 you know they make sense. You need a trial 😉

Pleased to be on the panel for my 7th+ viewing @sixinchessoil last week. I still get something new from it each time. Buzz went around the room when they released it’s the same farmers market room seen on film. Proud to be a credited supporter of @DragonLFilms alongside @baseuk

Going great guns here too. This is ready for some 🐏🐑🐑🐑
