Nice Green Hairstreak at @RSPBMinsmere today, as well as great sightings of Bittern, Marsh Harrier, Med Gulls, Black Redstart (yesterday), Grey Plover, various terns, Scoters on the sea, Dartford Warbler on Dunwich Heath. Heard Nightingales & various warblers but it seems quiet
Well we got some seed covered (by small slabs of damp clay) before the rain. Thanks a million to @chairmanjimbob for getting me set up and away - "just get it done" is the right attitude!!! Watch this space for updates on a prize winning low input wheat crop / slug food
This is the issue: farmers only receive some 5% of the value of the food chain, but shoulder almost all the (escalating) risk & frequently lose money whilst other players increase their margins & make billions in profit. It’s unsustainable.

Woodcocks mate whilst migrating. A very rare behaviour and would be fascinating study species for mate choice studies!

🧐 Why do large migratory birds die? After analyzing data from 4000 large migratory #birds, a study identified mortality patterns across species and continents, guiding global #conservation efforts. ➡ Check the study's findings and summary: 4vultures.org/blog/why-do-mi… #ornithology
Drilling off the cards again, thanks to yesterday's unforecast 7 mm. #Harvest24
What's the likelihood that there will be a derogation allowing AB15 legume fallow to be cut for forage or grazed this year? If this cold, wet weather continues and then it dries up through summer, forage availability will be very low. @JanetHughes @FWAGeast
So the hope of the forecasted dry week has gone, we won't be drilling today and probably not tomorrow either now!
Finally a lovely spring day to get on with some field work. Until the PTO shaft on the fert spreader broke with a full hopper ready to go

Meaning that we can't graze a 20 ha block of land due to fear of dogs attacking/worrying livestock.

I was just wondering what is the most "efficiently" framed grassland herbivore that is farmed / hunted for meat - Blesbok has to be up there for liveweight:deadweight ratio? Maybe even Muntjac? No data to hand.... @BritishDeerSoc
NEW PAPER in #ornithology quantifies the causes of mortality of 45 large bird species through #telemetry and shows that death caused by humans is more common than natural death: buff.ly/3xo7czj
Read my latest #research on #farming without #glyphosate, published with @SpringerNature in @SciReports nature.com/articles/s4159…
Shifting baseline - replicate this amount of development across lowland England. Left is Daventry in 2022, right is Daventry in 1945. We farm just to the north of this. I find the "rewilding" debate irrelevant to lowland England.
At least it hasn't snowed, yet..... this was 11 years ago, the day before I went to Namibia for a month of fieldwork. Same dog is still going, chomi kamina
Only 8 mm more than the 4 mm that they forecast, and still hammering it down. Yay
Excited to embark on this collaborative endeavor with the Waterberg Biosphere, Waterberg Research, and Professional Hunters Assoc of SA. Having all stakeholders at the table is the only way to ensure effective applicable conservation strategies. 🌿🫱🏽🫲🏼 @Phasa_1 @WaterbergBioRes
Yesterday the forecast was dry until Tuesday evening, now we have 39 mm forecast for the next week. Just as crops are starting to look average, looks like another tricky time, too wet to travel for fert, sprays etc. No drilling for a long while. Nice day for hedge work at least
Pretty large hail from that #thunderstorm / possible supercell just west of Northampton this afternoon! Original post: community.netweather.tv/topic/99492-st…

@RichardFoxBC Thanks Richard! For Brown Hairstreaks, the best time is mid May to mid June when they’re 3rd/4th instar. You can try earlier, but they’ll be trickier to spot.
@GreenAcres_Farm We’ve got about 10 of these Gallagher S16 energisers. Most places online selling them for around £180. Awesome little things. Bombproof, compact, only ever run out of charge in the depths of winter after days without sun. I’d highly recommend. gallagher.eu/en_gb/gallaghe…

Extreme acceleration 💨 #ThrowbackThursday | @Jason15Robinson
The drill is parked up. The optimism has faded, and realism has kicked in. We have given it our best shot, we are relying on the weather God's to play ball this summer. Roll on autumn drilling, a fresh start, and hopefully, we can put this annus horribilus behind us.
This is the issue: farmers only receive some 5% of the value of the food chain, but shoulder almost all the (escalating) risk & frequently lose money whilst other players increase their margins & make billions in profit. It’s unsustainable.
🗣️ @JeremyClarkson: "Farming is getting to the point where it's too risky." READ MORE: fwi.co.uk/news/clarksons…
@louis_phipps Oats Louis. They are much more competitive (taller and big leaves) with the under-sown ley and so keep it at bay pre-harvest. I would be very nervous about under-sowing the same in (uncompetitive and shorter) spring wheat until GS31/32
If all other parameters seem right for clover eg pH,P&K and you can’t get clover to preform, maybe consider boron. That’s my tip #Cloverweek
Clover week 2024: Farmers that ignore clover are ignoring income potential today and perhaps their licence to farm in the future. @TeagascGrass10 #Cloverweek eu1.hubs.ly/H08PKX00
Just found some Extase that hasn’t got yellow rust #LittleWin
We used to call this under-sowing herbal leys. It’s now called OP5 + SAM3
what riles me up most when fatality stats get talked about on this platform is people that reply with "if we got paid a better price, this wouldn't happen." If your business can't operate without risking yours and your employees' lives, it shouldn't operate
Posting in full the agricultural fatalities for 2023-4. 32, which includes the most deadly single month (May) for 15 years. Of particular awfulness are the deaths of 3 children under 2. A farmer is 22x more likely to be killed than the average UK worker. How do we improve?
"It’s estimated that hunters visiting Namibia constitute between 3% and 5% of total tourist arrivals, yet they contribute up to a quarter of the total revenue generated from tourism,” said the President of Namibia Professional Hunters Association (NAPHA), Alex Cramer.
Woodcocks mate whilst migrating. A very rare behaviour and would be fascinating study species for mate choice studies!
My first story for @audubonsociety is out! I wrote about a new study that collected the first concrete proof of itinerant breeding in a bird species. An incredibly rare behaviour that consists of the overlap of the reproductive and migratory periods. audubon.org/news/woodcocks…
@GreenAcres_Farm @louis_phipps Whilst social media can be wearing at times, it can also be very positive especially at difficult times when a problem shared is a problem halved. I find it comforting to know it’s not just me & I’m not the only one on my own transitioning to more sustainable farming
@charlespaynter @louis_phipps Yes I’m sure you’re right. I guess many of us find it hard when we’re really struggling and others ‘seem’ so far ahead, I know I do, but the relief at reaching a landmark like this is so huge you feel the need to share - tricky balance!
@GreenAcres_Farm @louis_phipps I know what you mean. It’s a problem with social media that many posts are often about achievements which can come over as triumphalism, but I think for the majority of farmers it’s just ‘this is where we’re at- how about you?’.
Spring drilling 2024 lesson learned. Post your thoughts Mine- heavy land. OM 4.0-6.0% 1. Less spring cropping is preferable if possible 2. SFI options/forage crops are a plus in the rotation 3. Drainage is key 4. Early drilling is risky 5. Beware of cover crops
