AgInflation: UK farm input costs soared by 21.86% in year to 30 September 2021.
"Unprecedented" rise in cost of farm fuel (+79.9%) & fertiliser (51.2%), says @AFGroupUK

We are still looking for folk to take part in this survey! If you’re in England, female and have a diversification business on your farm please take 10 mins to share your experiences @sally_shortall – at Bigton, Scotland
Do you have a diversification business on your farm? Are you female and live in England? If so please take this 10/15 minute survey to share how you have been affected by COVID-19 and the EU Exit with researchers from @DefraGovUK and @UniofNewcastle

The more we use the language of “catch up”, the more we normalise the idea this is a thing that is even possible. This is the language of anxious adults. It isn’t about children, it isn’t about GIRFEC & it isn’t in line w/ the UNCRC. @margl43 @Dr_Pam_Jarvis @UpstartScot
The school week should be extended by eight hours in a £130m rescue plan to make up for lost lessons during lockdown according to a leading Scottish education expert.
Do we need longer school hours to help kids catch up?

Really hoping to recruit more female #farmers for our #atv #quad bike safety and helmet wearing survey. If you are a UK or Irish farmer and would like to help out it would really be appreciated (hopefully you ride on better terrain than that pictured!): viis.abdn.ac.uk/snapwebhost/…

So much better to support a family business rather than increasing Amazon’s value!! #shoplocal
.@bookshop_org_UK has brought 130 independent bookshops together to build a website to rival Amazon.
It’s like Etsy for indies as each will have a shopfront & is the perfect way to support smaller bookshops when we can’t visit them in person:

I'm looking to speak to farmers/crofters who have applied for the SACGS scheme which closes this Sunday, October 11 to hear their thoughts?
Also keen to hear from those who decided it wasn't for them?
Please drop me an email- [email protected]
or message on here, thanks😃.

Dug this out in the farmhouse while having a sort out.
Five years old but still one of the best things Farmlife ever printed. Would you change many of them after another half a decade @matthewnaylor ?

Just for absolute clarity, nothing the Prime Minister said tonight affects when schools return in Scotland. I am working with Local Authorities, Directors of Education, Teaching Unions and Parents to agree a way forward for Scotland. #StayHomeSaveLives
Kirsty Budge retweeted
When I return to school please start with where I am and not where you think I should be. I don't want to catch up, I want to see my teacher and my friends. I want to feel safe and secure while I try to make sense of a 'new normal'. #aimhigh #letsgetitright #transition
