I’ve spent today with North Shropshire Farmers, frustration all round that the NFM funding on offer doesn’t reward the true value of services delivered by farmland @nfumidlands @ShropsWildlife

Should glyphosate be banned in the EU? I figure before whatever decision is made I should put my voice on the record one way or another.

1) Is it toxic enough to humans to ban?
2) Is it toxic enough to bees to ban?
Let's discuss them both! 1/10

The next round of Defra productivity grants. Some very useful items included (e.g direct drills, weeders, slurry injection/storage, heat detection and water management.) Something for most #farms if you were already planning on some capital expenditure. defrafarming.blog.gov.uk/202…
