If you invented a machine that:
- Runs on grass
- Produces high-quality protein
- Fertilises soil while operating
- Builds topsoil
- Requires zero electricity
- Self-replicates
- Provides 100+ byproducts (leather, tallow, gelatin, etc.)
You'd win every environmental award.
We call it a cow and want to ban it.
Genius.

To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Today I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my cart, emptied my cart and scanned the items, refilled my cart and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.

People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!

Not sure why @BBCNews say only 10.000 farmers came
when a conservative estimate of 3 people per sq meter (some say 4)
over 1.5 hec would be 45.000 farmers at the #wejustwanttofeed you #stopthefarmtax rally
Thank you everyone who came @JeremyClarkson

This year’s #FarmSafetyWeek offers an opportunity for a real reset in the way we all approach farm safety and risk-taking.
We can't continue to rely on luck – luck has a habit of running out…
Please watch & share

Imagine an alternate world where only EVs exist, and then someone invents the internal combustion engine. Cars are halved in weight, prices fall by half, they can be charged in five minutes, and can run twice as far as an EV on that charge. Just imagine the demand.

Beet Farmers of Britain! British Sugar cannot guarantee you any seed, any price, any Ts+Cs, any preference whatsoever.
Anything you could sign with them today is just a sham, and only means a worse deal for our industry.
The real contracts are now in the hands of @DefraGovUK

Had our graphics designer @TheFarmingForum create these infographics a couple of years ago.
Thought it might be a good idea to share them again to try balance up the anti-farming agenda ?
