Flood update: Im at the end of my tether! We are now protecting a EA flood storage area. @wheat_daddy @_RobbieMoore @EdwardLeighMP @SteveBarclay @NFUtweets @BBCNews @BBCLookNorth @itvcalendar
Such sad news to hear about Ian Potter. Over the years I've interviewed him numerous times about the dairy sector or BPS entitlements and I always appreciated his candour.

Let's talk turkey.
1. Free range farms now have MANY unsold turkeys due to media stories of shortages
2. Bird flu is NOT a risk other than to supply: there is LOTS of availability

Fantastic to have so many familiar faces in the room as our London #Land & #Property Briefing gets underway at @BNPParibasUK headquarters. We’ve got some really insightful talks planned across the morning from our #residential and #rural teams.
Jason Beedell tells audience at @StruttsRural land briefing that cost-of-living crisis will bring new property management challenges for landlords.
Rhodri Thomas, head of @StruttsRural opens London Land and Property briefing with observation that the rural sector has never been so relevant to so many people.
Looking forward to learning about the politics and economics associated with a shift towards agroecology today. #mainstreamagroecology
Good to see a number of ads for harvest staff circulating this week. That was one of the lessons from this article I wrote for @farmersweekly last year. fwi.co.uk/business/business-… If you want a harvest student, now's the time to advertise.

Looking for examples of farm-based diversifications which have evolved as a product of Covid-19 and are either working in a different way or tapping into new trends/opportunities. Article is for Farmers Weekly. #journorequest
I love the ambition of LinkedIn job suggestions. Dusting off the old CV for the Stella McCartney gig right now. I'm sure my knowledge of BPS, ELMS, BNG and natural capital will clinch it.
Anyone else running out of pens? Working from home all year, with no events and conferences to attend = no freebie pens. It will pain me to actually buy some.
