Seeing a few questions on here about NoBACZ - a new product for treating navels at lambing time. Timely that we have a podcast on the subject - ignore that it says watery mouth

Fantastic trip this afternoon to PDM Produce and Wyndford Wagyu with the first year @HarperAdamsUni Agrics as part of their welcome week.

Excited to welcome around 150 new Agrics to @HarperAdamsUni today as their Course Manager, a new chapter for me and for them! They passed their first test with flying colours managing to spell out AGRIC on the cricket pitch. Thanks to Dr Andrew Watson for the drone imagery.
Looking for advice and help please 🙏🏻 . Our farming neighbour has a right of access on our drive to access two of their fields, and following slurry application with a rear discharge spreader today (rather than a slurry tanker) our drive has been left in this state.
They won’t communicate, so at a loss what to do. @EnvAgency hotline called but could not help, as not contaminating a water course and on private property. Is this an acceptable state to leave it?!?! @shropshireben

Proud and excited to share my publication with @LydiaJArnold in @TeachinginHE
We question whether the term 'authentic assessment' has now lost its meaning, and in order to support its aims, ask whether it is time to stop talking about it?
New publication alert! 🚨
Is it time to stop talking about authentic assessment?
