Been a tricky season, looking forward to having @IntegratedSoils on farm in Scotland for some practical discussion. Some interesting trials applying nufol foliar in its neat form. #gamechanger
With the help of some fabulous host farms, I'll be speaking at 6 field days on #FoliarNitrogen in the UK, Ireland and Sweden this June/July. I will cover the principles and we will go explore the practice with our host farmers. All details below:

15 different birds identified in 10mins on my dog walk this morning. Great app to monitor what’s going on on the farm.

Good morning wine people, I need your help. The @scotgov is going to destroy the wine trade here with their DRS and alcohol marketing bans. Can you retweet this today so @NicolaSturgeon and @lornaslater know that you aren’t happy about it. thecourier.co.uk/fp/lifestyl…

Making mast of the frost and accessing timber in a difficult part of the farm to keep the boiler going. Not sure the partridge are enjoying the cold as much! #biomass #wildlife #Environnement

It's a rare day indeed when I agree with Rupert Read. But when it comes to @JustStop_Oil he is 100% correct. Billhooks not bollocks.
