OMG @TheRealfarmer1 and @ItsMeIsntIt my mind is officially blown!! Could also wear it on the course I reckon #Rovers

Blackburn Rovers @Rovers

Anyone for a game of darts? 🎯 We recently had the pleasure of hosting Blackburn's very own darts sensation @BradBrooks180 as he shared his techniques for hitting a treble 20! 👕 Sporting our brand-new #Rovers darts t-shirt, our players polished their darts skills at The Dog https://t.co/zOefBzHvJf

So, after 13 years at Farmers Guardian, tomorrow will be my last day. For 5 years as news editor, 7 as editor and the last year as publisher it has been a joy. I've always believed in the power of good journalism but now is the right time to step away, recharge & see what is next https://t.co/hadxHEAyyZ

Paul Williams talking for every single #Welsh farmer I’ve spoken to at #NFU24 when he asks the panel what message they would send to a Welsh government many feel is decimating the #farming industry. The fear for the future of Welsh agriculture is palpable. https://t.co/K2NcCTBw5F

The transition from BPS is undermining UK food production and hurting upland farmers in particular, an impassioned ⁦@timfarron⁩ tells #NFU24 https://t.co/gGlvKhu3MQ

After Rishi Sunak told #NFU24 yesterday that farmers ‘didn’t do it for the money’ (!), the political spokesman are on more bullish and conciliatory form this morning. https://t.co/omDyLksHan

Environment Agency chair Alan Lovell makes a huge challenge to farmers: “This is a 2 way street. I will take my medicine on flood management but you need to take yours on pollution incidents. Between us we have got to make a difference in this space.” https://t.co/1gW3nL8pYk

Food security is about national security, ⁦@RishiSunak⁩ tells #NFU24. Many in the audience, however, would no doubt question Government’s commitment to that given the state of agri-environment schemes for some. https://t.co/dDGAXAsJmz

A standing ovation for ⁦@Minette_Batters⁩ at the end of her final presidential address to conference #NFU24 https://t.co/do62WLlOyy

Trump, Johnson, the threat of no deal Brexit and 3 PMs in 1 year (is that a Crowded House song?). Minette Batters recaps the startling political turbulence she has seen during her 6 years as NFU president #NFU24 https://t.co/1kBir8jrNm

A jarring but vital exclusive by @FGRachaelBrown into the personal impact of farm inspections. Surely a change of approach is needed.

Farmers Guardian @FarmersGuardian

Farmer Rocky Poulson ended his life 4 days after a farm inspection which found 18 sheep had been tagged with incorrect-coloured ear tags. Rocky had never had a previous offence. His family are now calling for an overhaul of farm inspections. Read more 👉 https://t.co/IGnGwTaBjo https://t.co/P0x27l5o4J

How to spot a uk farmer by their choice of footwear, what rising interest rates mean for farm machinery and the German love of pork products. All on the latest edition of the @FarmersGuardian podcast https://t.co/eNn0uB8s6h

As Mark Drakeford steps down as Wales' First Minister, I'm reminded of the superb cartoon we ran in @FarmersGuardian following his meltdown in the @NFUCymru pavilion at the 2022 Royal Welsh. I doubt I'll ever again see a politician react with the anger he did over NVZs that day. https://t.co/TMRHh2snhw

I've worked with @axemanlowe for the past 13 years on Radio Lancashire and he is, in my opinion, one of the great radio men. His warmth and genuine interest always shines through and I'm very proud to call him a friend. Go well 'behind the desk' mate.

Stephen Lowe @axemanlowe

For the past 15 years I have had the privilege of gathering rural stories for BBC Radio Lancashire. Thanks to everyone who made my Sunday’s so very special, thank you for your friendship, your stories and all the brews 😀😀 Happy Lancashire day folks, you are the best 🌹❤️🌹 https://t.co/7zY1ozKGZj

After a few days at Agritechnica it was off to ⁦@Farm_Innovation⁩ at the NEC. Run by Agriconnect it’s a great farm diversification event and is taking place again tomorrow (Nov 16). Also had the pleasure of seeing ⁦@jennyljefferies⁩ and picking up her wonderful book https://t.co/IUOT34UEVY

Fendt says interest rate hikes will continue to affect demand into 2024 but, they claim, the ‘professional farmer’ market demanding +200hp tractors will be less adversely impacted https://t.co/JvZtIMbAoa

At Agritechnica 2023 in Hanover and Fendt has a full hangar just for a press launch. A different scale altogether https://t.co/9CnDu3HVBh

Out on the farm in the amazing #Lancashire countryside with ⁦@axemanlowe⁩ and talking to Heather Whalley about their British Blue herd. Live on Radio Lancs this afternoon. https://t.co/epIzyKpl49
