Back on the drilling . Bit of triticale as a trial for cattle feed . Project combi drill is going again . I brought this drill sight unseen for £1500 put new discs on it . Put it on a powerharrow . Needs a few more jobs to get it a1 but it’s putting seed in the soil .

Why are we paying for it 🤯 im so glad our hard earned taxes are being spent in OTHER countries . We can’t afford our debt now so why does this government keep spending it on other people .

So Monday was Monday it . Lost most of the day due to a rouge brick in the mill . Lost most of a days work and won’t have made a penny today . Seeing I’m not a working person @hmtreasury are you going to cover my loss of earnings today

After @EmmaforWycombe insult to any employer and business owner I think part of requirements to be a mp you ought to have had some form of career and a minimum of 10 years of work . So they understand real life and not the balloon of public sector and playing at politics. #joke

This is what I find so jarring about a lot of lefties is they just do not get what it’s like to run a business and seem to all have a idea that if you run a business that you must sit in the office with your feet up all day . It makes Sense why she has no farming understanding

New arrivals this evening in the calf shed . Been a dream a long time coming for rearing milk calves . Aim is to be bringing in 30 a month . Then stay with us all the way to finish. Can’t take all the credit as Emma takes full control of them while there on milk #britishbeef

I’m pretty sure some agricultural haulage firms think farmers must sit around just waiting for a grain lorry . It’s 2026 we all have phones and hands free why can’t you ring ahead .

Let the seed see the soil . Not the biggest fan of this drill but it always gets a crop in . One of them years where you could do with a shed full of seed drills .

Well project combi drill has all gone wrong today so out of sheer frustration I’ve gone back to the old method of 2 passes . Yet to ever find a perfect drill . Air was blue today . Trying my best to keep pushing on even when I really feel like saying bollocks to it

A little late to the party with the drilling spam but we needed some rain to make decent seedbeds and make it worth drilling . Today was some ryegrass going in a little later than ideal but a last minute change in cropping . Feels good to get some seed in the ground #drilling

I don’t think you do get it Andy …. If you were a doctor and someone came to you with a broken foot you’d cut the bloody leg off and probably say you’re ineligible for a wheel chair . Cut the tax and be a man of the people .
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.   The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.   But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.   That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.   It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

Rolling wheat for a customer today . Even with it being very dry it was still cracking every grain. Don’t often do wheat which was a nice change . Any cereals or pulses , give us a call we roll them all #millandmix

Something I’ve wanted to do for a while is make our own creep mix for our milk calves . Easy peasy with the diet feeder . Also confirmed our cropping for the year and we will be pretty much completely self sufficient in cattle feed for the next year #sustainablebritishbeef
