My journey as a farm manager………… I’ve had my own share of successes but let’s look at a few hitches in my first two months. It was a tug of war between myself, pests and weeds 😂. The clean field we see today is all about hardwork, perseverance and determination. Weed control forms an essential part of agriculture. Weeds affect plant growth and decrease yields as they compete with crops for essential resources such as water, sunlight and nutrients. Also, weeds significantly influence disease incidence as they harbour pests and disease organisms. Weed control and management is essential for maintaining high agricultural productivity and reducing economic losses. #sustainableagriculture #foodsecurity #weedcontrol #pestcontrol #goodagriculturalpractices #agricultureandfarming

As we head into harvest time, slowing down for farm equipment is important. Farm vehicles often have limited rear visibility, so allow plenty of room when following or passing them. Also, be mindful that crops may obstruct visibility at intersections. 🌾 Stay safe out there! #CultivateSafety #RoadwaySafety

Agriculture is the practice of growing plants and raising animals for food, fiber, and other products. It is essential for human survival and has evolved over thousands of years into various methods, each with its own techniques and goals. Understanding these types can help us appreciate how food is produced and how it affects our environment and society. #GeneralAgriculture

📽 In this latest video from the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission, farmers and growers from across the UK highlight the various ways in which farming can deliver positive benefits for climate, nature, health and community. “After 50 years on the same piece of land, we can see not only that our yields are going up, but also that the soil is healthy and there’s an abundance of biodiversity.” – Sustainable Food Trust CEO, Patrick Holden, on farming organically for over 50 years. #FarmingVoices 👇 Watch the full video below, or click here: https://lnkd.in/eAVcFxtw

1.1 mm yesterday. That wan't the exciting bit - 25mm over about 3 days has just come up on our weather forecast for about 10 days time! Oh the joys of farming. We aren't worried. We know it will rain. We are stepping through our feeding plan and our flock reduction plan. It's all good. Now starting to think about lambing which is due to start in early July, and the what-ifs. Giving ourselves time to think and come-up with paln A, B and C. So nothing is a surprise. Sometimes we can become paralysed by decisions. Not sure which way to go. Often too many options makes it hard, feeling like there are no options makes it even harder. Don't become paralysed by your decisions this season - think ahead, talk about the options with your farming mentor or advisor. Sometimes just talking about them makes the options clearer. It's not about asking for help - it's bringing them (and their brain) into your farm strategy. Making the decisions you make more robust. Making them more likely to be the right decision this season. Reach out - happy to be a strategy listener. Keep thinking forward. #aginnovate #peopleinag #autumn24 #season24 #lovewhatido
