I made and posted this video a year ago today. Got a lot of hate on Twitter for it, so here it is again. Xoxo🫶 It’s not about ThAnKinG a FaRmEr, I made this video to highlight the young generation of ag that still shows up, the people you see in this video are all my pals🤝 – at North Dakota, USA

Monsoon season, apparently. Hail, the lot. 38mm in half an hour. Lovely. #testingspring ☀️ ❌ #slowprogress 🥔 #timeforapint 🍺

A fantastic effort from all involved yesterday sowing the Carlisle Maize site 🌽. 30 different varieties with some under film and in the open. All sown and managed by the Carlisle team. @Hutchinsons_Ag @jimclark67crop #maize

Things are getting much worse more rapidly than the climate models predicted. Ongoing food shortages demonstrate that it’s critical we invest in food system resilience. But more generally, we should be alarmed. Net Zero isn’t a nice to have: it’s imperative for our children.
Good ‘Europe in drought’ report by @Channel4News. Big food growing regions affected. Summer hasn’t even got going yet….

Interesting morning @Hutchinsons_Ag Helix Farm in Yorkshire talking to university students about Agronomy and ICM. Really enjoyed listening to @rebeccaa_wilson and her journey in farming. A great ambassador for the industry!

Nice start to spud harvest in southern Alberta. Should have some serious yard capacity this year.

It’s that time of year again and we were busy sowing our oilseed rape plots yesterday. Very grateful for some moisture to hopefully get these established and away quickly. We plan to hold an open day early in the Spring so watch this space. @Hutchinsons_Ag

If I see this again in my farming career I’ll be very suprised! Cutting Graham winter wheat at 13.5% at dairy farmer hour 😬 #harvest22

Six weeks ago this crop looked fantastic. The speed of the harvester and the dust now tells a completely different story. Food production challenges are real. Do not take the food on your plate for granted.

Another great level of interest and an impressive performance from all drills frankly. Soil structure coming along nicely. I was asked why I thought the outcome from all drills was so successful given the damp drilling conditions. Simple …soil resilience🌾
