I’ve been on a #GratefulDead binge this weekend and noticing Easter eggs everywhere, @Miles_Teller do you quote Brown Eyed Women in Two Night Stand?!
Fantastic day at @PartyAtPalace, my favourite wee Scottish festival. Brilliant set from @shedseven - rain, what rain? All rainbows here 💙
Reflecting on a great day with @NFUStweets learning about sustainable dairy at @first_milk farm Lochhill in Ayrshire. Pasture fed, focused on soil health, biodiversity & carbon, it was great to hear how this farmer owned co-op is driving impressive change towards net zero. 👏🐄
Excellent visit today - thanks to @Bidwells and @scottishfarmer for bringing us together to discuss solutions, silo breaking and integrating trees into farms and the landscape.
VP Andrew Connon and Climate Policy Manager Kate Hopper attended a useful visit to Coulshill with @Bidwells today to discuss how we could tackle the competing demands on land, such as food production, the need for commercial forestry, biodiversity & carbon sequestration.
Fabulous visit to @uppernisbet today with the @NFUStweets policy team to discuss what makes a sustainable farm system - loved visiting the maternity ward and meeting the dads - alongside benefits of carbon auditing, high inputs / high output and the pet pigs! #sustainablefarming
Fantastic turnout for our panel session at @AllEnergy with @solarenergyscot - we discussed the energy transition on farms, sheep, crops & biodiversity in solar arrays, solar & green hydrogen and even whether AI could help with speeding up planning! #energytransition @NFUStweets
Home from a really enjoyable and stimulating day of debate on climate friendly farming and the energy transition with @NFUStweets hosted by the @JamesHuttonInst at Glensaugh. From silage geek chat to green hydrogen & some of the best permanent pasture I’ve seen! @saos_agri_coops
Looking forward to speaking at @AllEnergy in Glasgow next week on how solar power can increase energy resilience and support biodiversity on farms and crofts. Come and join us - or say hello if you see me!

He cheated in a pumpkin growing competition, stuffed it full of lead piping and got caught. Ended up on page 3 of The Sun with the headline ‘Hopper’s whopper’.
On farm today in East Neuk discussing all the issues facing fruit & veg growers in Scotland - pickers to automation, yield & risks to installing renewables. Looking forward to these Easter Grangemuir strawberries grown in coconut coir later this year @NFUStweets, @welcometofife
Fantastic to attend & speak at this event today - really engaged farmers, great discussions and lots of consensus on what we need to support agriculture’s energy transition.

Did you see @nfustweets on @BBCScotlandNews last night talking farms and climate change. Now read more - nfus.org.uk/news/blog/adapti… - about why we think adaption is now critical in mitigating climate change for farms and crofts in Scotland. @ScotGovRural
With Scotland recording its warmest year on record, great to see impacts of climate change on farming recognised with Climate Change Policy Manager @_smidge on @BBCScotlandNews Reporting Scotland last night - more at: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-6…
Great to talk #COP27 & farming - on @BBCRadioScot this morning with Pete from @nourishscotland - how do we reduce our GHG emissions? Lots of actions ahead - balancing land use with food production, green fertiliser and agroecology (from 1.48) @NFUStweets bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001f4c…
A quick shot from a very wet & windy visit to the Isle of Skye to learn about crofting and climate with @NFUStweets - lots of chat on peatland restoration, trees, lambing efficiency and renewables. Oh and the weather of course... #agriculture #crofting #IsleofSkye – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Great to be part of this Scottish Policy conference - I was asked how agriculture can help mitigate against climate change and how we can be made more resilent as we produce sustainable food! @NFUStweets #agriculture – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Thanks to speakers @FionaHyslop @JtcScotland @ScotCCAN @cllrcammyday @billireland @DaveSTUC @Pinsent_Masons @fabriceleveque @_smidge @MottMacDonald @BrianWhittle @drennieenergy @kyle_usher @StephenSheal @transcotland @scotgov and attendees for joining @scotlandpolicy last week!
Fantastic day out in Aberdeenshire with a great group of green hydrogen experts discussing how to decarbonise our farms and rural communities. @NFUStweets @saos_agri_coops @JamesHuttonInst @UniStrathclyde #GreenEnergy #ClimateAction #sustainable #decarbonisation #GreenHydrogen – at Scotland, United Kingdom
Calf igloos, clover swards, agroforestry and strawberry tarts, a day in the life of a farmer @NFUStweets - discussing farming in a changing climate at a really engaging event today in Ayrshire. #regenerativeagriculture #regenerativefarming #ClimateAction – at Scotland, United Kingdom
