It’s worth spending a moment reading this thread from Will, it sets out really clearly the enormous challenge of decarbonising a predominantly agricultural landscape,
Welsh farmers are currently FURIOUS with the Welsh Government. They have some legitimate reasons to be p*ssed off but the WG are also in a really tricky position. This is complex but really super important & hidden within the debate is a wonderful opportunity. [THREAD]

1/2 @SWLecLC explains how various water parameters are being measured on the @HarperAdamsUni Paludiculture Innovation Project #lowlandpeatland site. Setting up the hydrological unit and subsequent monitoring are key for successful #paludiculture @ShropsWildlife @TelfordWrekin
What a fantastic opportunity today to spend time really getting into the detail of regenerative arable systems with one of the UK’s leading proponents David Miller @fowell103
Great afternoon entertaining this @NFUShrops crew on a jolly in Hampshire. Good discussion on all things regen and much more. @NFUtweets
Matterley estate, Hampshire courtesy of the Bruce family. An example of a farm utilising a unique resource. The Matterley bowl is a massive natural amphitheatre, Eisenhower addressed the massed US D day force. Today it hosts 66,000 visitors to the annual @BoomtownFair
“a warning to the whole industry of a fundamental systemic problem that cannot be simply addressed by a call for redistribution of margins, improved supply contracts or a woolly understanding of the risks that lie ahead.” #harperretail thegrocer.co.uk/supply-chain/o…
Some incredible movements going on in the wheat market yesterday, this despite Ukrainian harvest forecasts collapsing. If your buying feed or growing crops it's time to start revising that farm budget.
After 23 years as Harper Adams Farm Manager I've moved into a new role developing projects & horizon scanning opportunities for the industry and university. It's been a privilege to steward the farm for a fifth of the universities existence. It remains a core pillar of Harper.
Semex announced today to have identified a new genomic test that allows to select for dairy methane. This will lead to 20-30% methane intensity reductions by 2050. Quite exciting, b/c this approach is scalable and agnostic to management type (grazing vs TMR).
After Paul Larmer announces breeding selection for lower methane emissions @semexUK now followed by @GHGGuru Looking forward to this #semexconf23
The Herd Productivity Award at the #PigAwards has been won by Harper Adams University, fantastic work guys! Thank you to our sponsor, Huvepharma.
Bit of a change this morning - at @HarperAdamsUni talking to Post Grad Nutrition students re practical on farm dairy nutrition, forage quality/feed management - scary to think I graduated 30 yrs ago!🙈🐄😊 #teamdairy #lovecows Demonstrated NIR4Farm forage analyser @ABVistaGBIRE
We are really pleased to have contributed shearlings from the @HarperAdamsUni flock to this great initiative
250 shearling ewes from eight different breeders in our group have now traveled to Ian Robertson’s for RamCompare to collect important maternal trait measurements. We are very excited to follow the progress of this project!
I would’ve really grateful for some assistance please! I am looking to engage with #farmers on the #Somerset Levels who are #farming on #lowlandpeat (#paludiculture) Email [email protected] or tag here on this feed. @NFUEnvironment @Groundswellaguk @Gameandwildlife
Lots of solitary bee activity on the @HarperAdamsUni entomology building this evening
Stolen last night in Shropshire, cut padlock off and had a Wheelock device on steering wheel. Dad's old workhorse which he loved and is gutted, if anyone hears or sees anything it could be anywhere by now. Thanks #theft #ruralcrime
Russians stole farm equipment from Ukraine Accompanied by police So it’s not small looting - official authorities know what they do
Retirement….has there ever been a more bombproof mixer wagon than the RMH…? 14 yrs and around 120,000t of mixed ration conservatively it has mixed around £8.5 million worth of feed! Original gearboxes and augers…#Teamdairy
Carbon neutrality IS climate neutrality, but not every industry needs to be carbon neutral to be climate neutral. Industries that primarily emit methane, like 🐂🐄, don't have to get to net-zero carbon to no longer contribute to warming. @GHGGuru explains 👇
This really shocked me, I work and network with some incredible women, the idea that they are in some way not suitable to represent and contribute to the industry is just bizarre.

Fully funded 4 year PhD on "The impact of #conservation #agriculture on above-belowground interactions" with me and the excellent @Dr_Joe_Roberts and @ipm_tom, funded through the @MIBTP1 is open for applications. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss!
Many farm cash flows will not cope with massive price increases, the result be lower inputs and lower food production this year. Thanks to @neil_parish for highlighting the issue and hopefully starting a wider debate on the security of food production in the UK
