I tried to distill why farmers are so angry into a single tweet. Summery as follows - We’ve had enough of working for nothing, to produce something everyone needs, while being told we’re doing a shit job of it, by people who’ve never done it.
I think that covers it?

I dealt with the Supermarkets from 1986-2012. They were brutal and competition fierce once supermarket ‘saturation’ occurred in the mid 1990’s and market share was the aim. We shouldn’t underestimate the role Supermarkets have played in today’s situation.

Nucleus Highlanders lambing at Southfield, they never fail to impress us! Phenomenal maternal ability and lamb vigour. Scanned at 208%,these ewes will keep most of their lambs alive. Purebreds may scan too high for many but one cross can dramatically improve a flock’s performance

It’s best not to brief that you have 10,000 anti-meat activists turning up if (generously) only 300-350 show up. Guess people just love the taste of Great British beef 🇬🇧🤭
Environmentally friendly and tasty. #Smithfield #animalrebellion

My friend Matt has cooked a curry from scratch (inc naan) on a stag for 21 people and It makes me remember why I love food. Absolute joy.

“If someone suggests that good quality pasture is not the perfect feed for livestock and requires a supplement to “support” or “balance” it stop listening because the next price of advice will cost you money” @Down2earth_john #believeinthepasture
Got professional advice that ewes coming off swedes needed concentrates with grass before lambing... Advice was ignored and all ewes were kept on grass only... Got ewes bloods tested for energy, protein and minerals and this was the result...
