Brilliant interview with some absolute top farmers! Mike mentions how lucky he is to have great advisors based in Cornwall- I think we’re even luckier to have such progressive, open farmers who are contributing so much through the #FarmNetZero project!

Really cold today on our #FarmNetZero walk at one of the Demo Farms. But an excellent opportunity to look at outwintering options for cattle. Main takeaway is it is cheaper than housing on this farm and therefore has a lower carbon footprint.

Making use of Cornwall Council’s Forest for Cornwall grant and planting some trees along this fence line. They should give some shade for the rotational grazing that we run. I definitely recommend the grant to other farmers - show the world we can have both trees and farming!

"Diseased material removed & a little growth regulation done!" TF’s Anthony Ellis is a Monitor Farm with #FarmNetZero. He's been grazing 1ha of wheat with 25 sheep as part of a trial. FNZ’s Alex Bebbington is back to assess #SoilHealth scores after the sheep👍 #GoldenHoof #Soil

Thank you for an excellent farm walk! Great to learn about how a slurry pit can become a power station. A proper climate solution in action and we’re lucky to have it in Cornwall. Amazing cake too!

“Correlation doesn’t equal causation” springs to mind. I’m not defending pollution, there’s no excuse for that. But to imply that being in RT makes a farm more likely to pollute seems a bit shaky to me.

Alex Bebbington showcased the work of the Farm Net Zero Project with Farm Carbon Toolkit. From different Maize establishment methods & crop yields to the benefits of hedgerow management and carbon sequestration to using green manure as a bedding material on their Monitor farms.

I’ve been up in the Lake District for a week following Groundswell (what an amazing place that was!) Super impressed by the amount of wood pasture creation all over the northern Lakes. Well done to all involved, it’s going to look beautiful!
