Pleased to have held the first DLUMG meeting today and felt good to bring such a wide range of good people together into what will be a safe space for discussion. Early days and a lot to do! This blog post includes the group members eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…:
Congratulations to Annie Carr from Herefordshire -Farmers Weekly Sheep Farmer of the Year 2024! Well done Annie!
I’ve not been using X much recently but want to say that Abi Kay’s coverage in this weeks FW about respect is something that needs to be said. Well done Abi, more people needs to speak up about what is right and wrong!
If you can’t find tasty British lamb at the place you buy your dishwasher tablets and toilet rolls then go to a place you can - your local butcher or farm shop. They aren’t as scary as you think!
I’ve never seen the advert for the ‘sorry to announce officer’ at British rail . Maybe they call it something else?
A lesson in trying to to squeeze too much in.. don’t try to link in with a Teams call on your phone while changing for the next meeting - without double checking camera is on mute…..
Hold on there’s more.. Amy Bateman, author and photographer of Forty Farms has won the FG Diversification farmer of the year. Couldn’t be anyone more deserving !!
And to wrap it up, all the sheep farmer FG nominations should be considered winners. Well done to Arwyn Phillips from West Wales and Andrew Smith from Somerset.
Silver award for FG sheep farmer of the year - David and Matthew Roberts from north Wales. This family have shown that increasing productivity and improving the environment t can go hand in hand. A big well done from NSA.
Winners of the FG sheep farmer of the year- Robert and Becca Rennie from Scotland - exceptional business progress by this couple. Achieved a huge amount.
Massive congratulations to George Dunn for being awarded outstanding contribution to Brit Agriculture at FG awards!! Well deserved and we’ll done
Great work and nice to see Holly again!
A lesson for frog and toad lovers. I found a tiny one on the lawn on Sunday and picked it up to show the grandson - when it decided to jump into my cup of hot tea. Mercifully a very quick end but the guilt remains…
Looking forward to talking methane and sustainability at this mornings Exlana elite sheep sale at Westleigh nr. Tiverton.
Lesley Griffiths and Stephen James launching the WG funded sheep scab programme in Wales. Sheep health is being recognised as important as it needs to be.
Privileged to be with Patrick Holden and many academics, practitioners and friends celebrating 50 years at Bwllwernen. Many challenging discussions as you’d expect.
Thanks to everyone who was behind NSA Sheep Northern Ireland yesterday. Was a great day with a really relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. A real NN welcome!
I’ve booked and expecting an informative session.

I’m with you ok, on both fronts. He is a legend with a strong stomach or no sense of smell..
