Just for clarity… our farm value is under the IHT threshold and we aren’t wealthy in other ways… So I’m not a wealthy tax dodger I’m protesting because I think major progressive promises to farmers are being broken and this budget was the last (not the first act) in the play

Being a farmer in Britain right now is like being trapped in the back of stolen car driven at high speed by a driver who’s high on drugs and oblivious to the obstacles ahead… and all the time shouting absolute gibberish at you from the front seats

Ok so I've seen a few people including @agricontract post this today. @marksandspencer claiming going meat free one day a week is the equivalent to not driving your car for a month. Totaly absurd, to counter this let's do some maths! 🧵 (1/6)

Unpopular opinion time. Here goes. After spending time in the Catlins last week, and looking over the road at a local dairy farm (pictured), I have a very hard time trying to understand that NZ farming is the the big climate change problem we’re told it is. Bear with me. 1/7

Spot on @JeremyClarkson "There's two ways farming is covered. One is American industrial farming...& the other is Kate Humble with a newly born lamb in fresh straw. The reality is that most British farming is sort of in between. It's actually pretty good." bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

Is beef fat saturated? Beef fat is dominantly monounsaturated oleic acid, same as olive oil. Beef also contains "good" saturated stearic acid, known to promote "good" HDL. Beef provides all B-vitamins, Carnitine & is a best source of easy-to-absorb "heme" iron & zinc.
