We're immensely proud to have received this award today. A huge credit to all of the team and our grower base at Greenseed International Ltd.
Earlier today we met with Darren Mackie and Jenny Hookham from Greenseed International Ltd. We were extremely pleased to present them with the @BranstonSeed Grower of the Year 2022/23 award. Very well deserved to them too 👏🏼@SPPotatoes @Branston

Helping 🇬🇧 food & drink exporters is the lifeblood of @tradegovuk! And selling more into the 🇺🇸 is a big part of that. Great to meet Greens of Soham and G’s Fresh with @lucyfrazermp to talk about market access to the $100m US beetroot market; radishes, spring onions & celery.

let's see how many potato friends can give #OrdinaryFood a big shout out
A great video to remind people that a simple balanced diet that includes everything in moderation is so much better than listening to the conflicting fad diets around #ordinaryfood

It was another packed AHDB Seminar Room at @BP2019Harrogate for the storage seminar which focused on sprout suppression and CIPC. Topics discussed include CIPC alternatives, their application, different management approaches and cost implications. #Potatoes

The Environment Agency have failed in their fundemntal role. We cannot allow rural England to be short changed by national government anymore. This is working land not a theme park.
1500 acres of arable farm flooded under 6ft+ of water. Roads impassable, homes inaccessible. Here in Short Ferry near Lincoln.

134 farm workers have died in the last five years - agriculture is the UK’s most deadly industry Tim narrowly avoided death, he was in a coma for weeks and has a metal plate in his skull Jack’s dad wasn’t so lucky, Peter died in 2017 These are their stories. #BBCFarmingFocus
