I've not seen a significant number of Peewits on the farm since my teens.
We ploughed in the failed wheat yesterday and now there's a couple of hundred of these delightful birds calling out in the still , freezing air.

The most interesting comment today was that some MP's have suggested that to reduce our carbon emissions that we should just stop farming.
And there's the problem we face in a nutshell folks. They don't understand or actually care.

I think poor old Charles has fallen into that trap where he thinks 30 years ago was 1970.
Don't worry chap, I do that too - I still think 1995 is only 10 years ago.
More and more hedges go in each year.
You want to increase the bird population, get rid of cats and cars!
What utter greenwash from the NFU
Over last 30 years 50% of UK’s hedgerows were ripped out to created larger fields for ever intensified agriculture
Majority of our surviving hedgerows are degraded, providing poor wildlife habitat
What hope do we have in resolving the

I thought
#MeatAThreatToOurPlanet
was an interesting program, poorly executed.
Basically, assassinating the UK livestock industry by harping on about the US beef sector. With a 120 second acknowledgement of how we produce meat sustainably.
No balance - just sensationalism.

The Schoffel. At its most dreadful when teamed with an Argentine Polo belt, a check shirt with an upturned collar and worn by someone who didn't finish their course at (insert college) because they knew everything anyway.

Absolutely done in to hear of his passing today.
For me, as a teenager, Steve Wright in the Afternoon was my companion when ploughing, discing or corn carting.
Always sincere and original.

The quality of the barley they use to make Carling, is the best the UK can produce.
It's just a shame that they take that quality and turn it into piss.

Spoke to a potential candidate today who didn't "see the need to be interviewed." As he was "obviously well qualified for the position" as "it's a big commitment traveling to meet someone to be offered a job you know you're going to get, can they do it over the phone"
He is 23.

Told dad to sell some today both for this year and new crop.
He will do absolutely nothing and will watch the market come off.

On Wednesday (January 8th), our film

airs on Channel 4. It proposes that, after 12,000 years, farming will more or less come to an end within a few decades. It argues that this shift comes in the nick of time: it's great news for humanity and the living planet.

Today I had the chance to explore Red Mill on Haddiscoe Island.
Opposite the Berney Arms and Mill it's nestled in by Breydon Water and home to a vast range of wildlife. And it's bloody miles from anywhere - which is lovely!
