The shift to conservation agriculture for @PaulWoldfarm is cutting overall nitrogen use by 25% across Paul's beef and arable farm, where reduced chemical inputs help to maximise soil biology efficiency Proudly sponsored by @CawoodLtd #FWAwards #farmersweekly #mixedfarmer

Will it be sold as a lamb or kept to make a shearling? The last one I saw like that won everywhere as a shearling having been sold as a lamb #derbyshiregritstonesheep

I would urge @DefraNature to concider a #hedges2hectares ratio in its payment schemes. 20km of hedge across 200Ha earns exactly the same as 20km across 2000Ha, yet provides much greater biodiversity gain (1:10 v 1:100) yet small fields = far greater costs. RT to agree!

It has been excellent to be involved in this excellent project which has involved vision, trust and ultimately taking a punt on youth rather than extending an existing business. #youth #newentrant #whatanopportunity #settinganexample #sustainable

More red listed curlew arriving on managed moorland in the Peak District. Whether you agree or disagree with driven grouse shooting, you cannot deny, many red listed species flourish due to exceptional habitat and predator management. #birdwatching #conservation #wildlife #curlew

Also heartening to hear the recognition that gamekeepers do not ‘burn peat’. This from Yorkshire Dales shows how skilled burning leaves peat & moss ringing wet underneath.


Ahead of tomorrow’s Westminster Hall debate on Moorland Burning make sure you read about the difference between controlled and uncontrolled burning 🔥 gwct.org.uk/blogs/news/202…
