Tuned in to all things beet this week is AF’s Hannah Carthy. At BeetTech, after Cruiser’s non-approval, ongoing BBRO research was valued. Clearly they’re embracing alternative solutions & new technologies to ensure the future of beet growing. #sugarbeet #seed #afgroup #farming

On my way to Westminster. Folks, let’s make sure we bring our best, and don’t let protestors with other motivations draw out our worst. The media want a story; let’s make sure that story is how this unjust, unfair, unworkable tax will affect hard working families. See you there! If you see me, come and say hello 🙋‍♂️…and wrap up warm; it’s going to be chilly! @NFUtweets @CLAtweets @afgroupuk @tenantfarmers

Little pause in harvest, not due to rain, but 'cos the grain isn't ripe & that's because we drilled it in late January 🤦‍♂️ Yields so far on the diseased & weedy fields we have harvested are catastrophic ~half budget 🥺 lowest being 4t/ha <gulp> Hope sunset's no metaphor

Plus we gifted 700 seed surprises and served 500 ice creams. The map shows Groundswell attracts idea-seekers from far and wide and how there's a groundswell of interest in joining #AF, the national #ruralbusiness co-operative.
