I find it astonishing that the CEO @RiverActionUK James Wallace, and @BBCBreakfast are not aware there are no growth hormones used on British Farms
Given the level of concern by River Action UK on the topic thats fairly basic knowledge

Huge thanks to @ProagriLtd @NFUtweets and to the many people who have sent such lovely messages. Most importantly for me this is recognition for the brilliant team of professional NFU staff and members that I had the privilege to work with.

Our first visit on the final day of the BGS Summer Meeting was to Marshalls Farm. Kate Lywood and @jwaytweets explained about their organic spring calving dairy herd. We also heard about herbal leys, parasitic wasps and methods of reducing heat stress in the herd @GrasslandDorset

What a fantastic visit to end our 2024 Summer Meeting. Thank you to Andrew & Chris Hodgkins for the tour around their Locks flock of 3000 NZ Romneys. We took in part of the South Downs Way as we went, with fabulous views from the top
