The commission has unfortunately taken several decisions independently that together effects the market for fertilizer so prices increase and availability is limited - all together put pressure on the farmers competiveness and economic situation.

🚨Farmers, agri-cooperatives, food processors, traders and fertiliser blenders warn that the small tweaks to the CBAM tax calculation formula introduced by the secondary legislation adopted today will not prevent the risk of fertiliser shortages or the prohibitive production…

Britain crosses these lines brazenly now. No debate. No shame. A government decree, a police order, and suddenly the people who feed the country – the most rooted, law-abiding citizens we have – are the ones being marched away in handcuffs. Not for rioting. Not for violence. For…

#BBCQT slipped up letting an economically literate accountant in rather than the usual seal clapping dross “94% accountants have no faith in the economy, 64% don’t see light of it getting any better” Happens when you have ppl with 0️⃣ biz experience in charge of the economy 1/2

Unfortunately Abi the story was indeed ultimately rumour. Raising hopes of the industry on such an important issue has ultimately ended up having a rather cruel twist


The morning after the night before. Huge congratulations to @AshleyDaveJones Farmer and Mixed Farmer of the year #FWAwards

Farming. You put £1572 into a hopper and throw it all over the ground in the hope the OSR to be planted will survive. It’s like going to Vegas and dropping £1500 on red for a spin on the roulette wheel 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Come on @AHDB_Cereals where are the Winter Barley variety trial results for the Devon site? Earliest harvest for years and you still haven’t published them. What you waiting for, next harvest? Disenchanted and frustrated SW levy payer.


Why are @BBCNews giving Nicola Sturgeon free adverts for her new book? 😡😡
