MY TURN TO GO TO KENYA?

Wendy writes

How could he go away again leaving me languishing in another cold barn? Before he went, I pulled a shed here off the muck for washing. That went well enough, but I was left out for over a week with my cable taut. The weather was appalling with frost, wind and rain - talk about being frozen to the core. I asked for someone to send a message to him asking for some sympathy but he is so much out of sight, out of mind that I might as well not exist.

I have heard that he has been walking with camels carrying all his needs. Lazy or what? I have always carried all my own gear. Anyway, why couldn’t he take me? Anywhere a camel can go surely, I could. We were both bought up to survive in the desert.

I’ve just heard that his new best friend, Helen, who led the camel Safari has suffered with a broken half shaft in her Land Cruiser. Not only can she fly her own plane, she also owns 100 camels and is a hero in his eyes. I am not the jealous type, but I do worry where I am in the pecking order.

Poor camels carrying his stuff

Helen - can we meet?

Must be thirsty work

On Our Farm

February 12th 2025

Hugo Lee farms in partnership with his father, Guy, at Sandystones, near St Boswells. Arable crops of wheat, oilseed rape, malting barley and oats are grown, 500 Angus cattle are finished annually, 8000 organic hens produce eggs for Waitrose and 8,000 organic point of lay pullets are reared each year.

For over a year now the main road up to the farm has resembled a river every time it rains. We thought this was due to a collapsed culvert under the road which takes a large majority of the farms field drains. Not only was the blockage flooding the road it was also backing up flooding the field next to it and during seriously heavy rainfall it caused some field drains to blow. I had reported it to the council numerous times over the past year and nothing happened. Eventually I managed to get hold of Doug, brother of Paul who repairs our cars. He is a roads engineer for the council and within in a month he had sorted it. A large stone had lodged in the pipe and completely blocked it under the road. Stone removed, pipe jetted and fingers crossed it has worked. Only time will tell when we next get a huge downpour, but so far so good!

The cattle market has gone crazy with talk of fat cattle getting to £7/kg by March. The huge increase in price is a good thing and the breeders really do need every penny they can get. I am just worried when or if the bubble will burst. Having just spent over £100,000 for 58 AAX store cattle I pray that the price continues to go up. Grazing cattle are going to be seriously expensive at well over £4/kg come March. I have to admit to a few sleepless nights over the last week concerned that we could be overexposing ourselves if the market Hopefully we won’t see this again is suddenly going to collapse. I am reassured by people far more knowledgeable than myself that there is a worldwide shortage of beef and demand is very strong. The big question will be if, or when, beef will simply become too expensive for the consumer.

Staff are our most important asset at Sandystones. As a late Christmas present, I gave them a clay pigeon shooting lesson at Braidwood. None of them had shot before and despite holding it like a machine gun to start with they all did really well. Bogdan came out as the eventual winner despite an incredible start by Shaun who hit his first eight clays in a row. For the first time both my dad and I are away at the same time (Kenya and Norway) as Shaun, Bogdan, Yurii and Diana are all very capable. I have heard nothing so far, so hopefully no news is good news…!

Another hen shed has been emptied, washed and moved. We are currently rearing our eighth batch of point of lay pullets which are doing well having survived storm Eowyn relatively unscathed.

We did have to rachet strap the pullet shed roof down as it was threatening to take off and secure a cattle court roof which was flapping around. Thankfully we managed to prevent any long lasting Yurii, Bogdan, Shaun and (coach) David damage but it is not a day I would like to repeat anytime soon!

Hopefully ground conditions dry up to allow us to get the first round of Nitrogen on the winter crops. We have just taken on another 160 acres of arable this year, so I am praying for a drier spring than last year. However, in the meantime I am relishing the snow conditions in Norway.

Talking......New Zealand

February 10th 2025 Ian Mackenzie is an arable and dairy farmer from the Canterbury Plain in the South Island of New Zealand.

He runs a number of fully irrigated intensive cropping farms, producing grain, vegetable and grass seeds with some stock finishing.

It has been a miserable summer for arable farming and tourism. Persistently grey shitty damp days have frustrated the harvest and our tourists alike.

Having said that, the boys have got some grasseed, all the peas and most of the wheat in. Yields are, I think, pretty bloody average.

I’ve been allowed out of the back paddock to drive a combine a couple of times and can report that the wheat seems to be running around the 10t/ha mark which is probably a couple of tons shy of where the crop might have been.

The tourists keep coming regardless of the weather but we’ve stopped pretending snow in February is an aberration.

There has been some light relief. A wandering Scotsman arranged for me to meet an enterprising farming couple from Fife, Robert and Jane Stewart, who’ve turned their dairy farm into an awardwinning artisanal cheese business.

We had a great evening discussing farming, marketing food and stuff but in that conversation I was really sorry to hear that John Campbell of Glenrath Farms had died last September. The ship carrying that news to the antipodes has clearly got lost.

I met and stayed with John (and Cathie) when I was travelling on my Nuffield Scholarship and since then we’ve travelled with them to other parts of the world and they’ve stayed with us at Akaunui.

We were having a discussion one evening about “adding value” and dealing with the market for the food we produce as farmers, with special reference to dealing with supermarkets. John said the secret to success (and making money) was to understand the buyer’s needs. Make their life easy by guaranteeing without exception quality, quantity and reliability of supply every day of the year and you then set the price.

That was probably the most valuable advice I was given on my study tour. The 2nd most valuable advice was not to trust wealth created by government decree by a lovely man who sold his milk quota for £1.5m 18 months before a change in government policy rendered it valueless.

Both timeless truths that should not be forgotten.

A rare sunny harvest day

Talking......Business with Edwin Thompson

February 2025 Jack Frater is an Agricultural Consultant at Edwin Thompson, based between their offices in Berwick and Galashiels. Jack specialising in Farm and Estate Management.

2024 was arguably the most import year in terms of global politics there has ever been, with over 40% of the world’s population voting in one way or another, resulting in a new Labour Government in the UK, and Donald Trump returning to the White House. 2025 brings with it the consequences of those results, then in 2026 we have the Holyrood elections to look forward to.

Treasurer Rachel Reeves and her planned changes to inheritance tax rules has caused uproar across the countryside with protests happening on what feels like a weekly basis. Public engagement is paramount in terms of lobbying for a rethink, however it important to bear in mind that until these changes were announced, a significant proportion of the population had no idea that agriculture benefited from such reliefs. So, if you are engaging in any way, shape, or form the message needs to be clear that this change is unsustainable financially.

At this stage there are varying estimations on just how many businesses these changes will impact, the Labour line is only 500 per year, but AHDB have the figure at closer to 42,000 overall, which is nearly 77% of the farms in England and Scotland. There is also now a risk that if you believe the whispers, the Spring Statement could bring with it the removal of the 7-year gifting rule, meaning that handing down the farm, or any asset, to the next generation may not longer mitigate any inheritance tax implications.

The advice is as it was back in October, speak to your accountant as soon as you can, and have the difficult family conversations early. Details around how trusts will be impacted are not expected until early April, but this shouldn’t stop you starting to plan ahead.

In terms of your farming business, the message is to make sure you are in the best possible position in terms of physical and financial performance. Funding is still available for Scottish farmers through the Farm Advisory Service to assist with an analysis of your business and provide advice as to how improvements can be implemented.

For Scottish producers, the BPS application window is fast approaching and with it comes new conditionality as part of your claim, including the requirement for such things as a carbon audit or biodiversity plan. The application window opens on the 15th March so again the advice is to start early, it is also important to note that the deadline for entitlement transfers is the 1st April.

On the plus side the Six Nations has started and I hope by the time Agrimart goes to press Wales are still on for a another Wooden Spoon.

To discuss your BPS claim, or if you would like further information on grant funding available through the Farm Advisory Service, please get in touch on 01896 751300 or email j.frater@edwin-thompson.co.uk.

Talking......Organic

February 12th 2025

Simon Bainbridge farms in partnership with his wife Claire and his parents, Ivan and Elisabeth in Northumberland. They run suckler beef, sheep and laying hen enterprises across 650 ha of mainly SDA and moorland - organically.

Yesterday we scanned the sheep and are quite pleased with the results. Numbers will be back on last year, but with 200 less ewes that’s the plan to fit in with HT countryside stewardship commitments. The good news is we have a third less triplets than last year – so small wins. With reduced ewe numbers, in theory there should be more feed and hopefully by the time we all get to start lambing the wind will be in a different direction, the rain will have stopped and the temperatures warmer… I’m not asking for too much.

On the cattle side we’re just going through the routine and getting ready for calving. The Luing heifers are looking good however, Claire is feeling a tad nervous about calving them this year. It is normally Claire who gets the call to come and help in the middle of the night, if its needed. The black baldy heifers have generally been quiet and easy to work on with. It’s our first year with the Luings – so she’s praying that they’re easy calving and know their own way to the crush!

Hens are doing ok… they’re not amazing, but not awful, just ok. We have a flock at about 55 weeks of age who had some challenges early on. They’re doing fine but look pretty poor as at the time of stress they over preened and took their own feathers out. We need to manage them carefully as their egg size is slightly larger than we would like, which means in the later weeks we may struggle with shell strength. The younger flock looks amazing, has excellent behaviour, no mortality and ok egg numbers. However, we have a significant number of shell-less eggs and weak shelled eggs. Blood tests have revealed ORT and MG, which we had vaccinated these hens against. We need to work out a course of action, because although it’s not drastic now, it could easily escalate.

We’ve re-emphasised our biosecurity measures and tried to ensure that all biosecurity protocol is met and more. The increase in avian influenza cases is a concern, mainly in East Yorkshire at the moment, but with cases across the country, it’s pretty much everywhere in the wild bird population. Those that are coming down with it will have good biosecurity, however it’s the poultry owners only means of protection, so, we have to do everything we can. We’ve had the disinfection stations serviced, so at least the wagon drivers delivering feed and collecting eggs have the right tools to do the job properly.

We are planning to cover two muck stores this year. One here at Donkin Rigg and one at Rothley East Shield. We have planning for one, but the planners are being very thorough on their assessments of the other. We’ve jumped through the hurdles of water run-off, biodiversity net gain etc. However, now they are wanting to know what habitat will be lost as a result of this project. The site is a scruffy bit of land at the edge of the yard. We all know it’s where not a great deal happens and in terms of biodiversity, any potential loss will be offset by the huge environmental gains of not storing muck outside. Defra want the store, Natural England want the store, Catchment sensitive farming want the store, we want the store (despite it costing a fortune over and above any grant received), yet the planners are slowing the job right down. At the moment they’re suggesting we withdraw our application however, that would mean another extortionate planning fee when we re-submit.

Talking......from the boundary

February 11th 2025

For the first time ever in my life I have been out of communication with the outside world.

For the past seven days we have been without our phones having signal. No news, WhatsApp, email or messages. Four of us have been trekking with (not on) camels in the Matthews Range in Guy Lee Northern Kenya. A typical day was a wakeup call at 5.45 am outside our tent by the Samburu. A visit to the bush loo, a brush of the teeth and we were soon sitting around last nights fire drinking hot chai, coffee or ginger tea watching dawn break. Around us camp was broken up and packed onto the 34 camels that carried all our needs for the week’s safari. Then we set off led by Burrian our English, Swahili, Samburu speaking guide and wildlife spotter. Ahead was an armed guard and behind was our hostess Helen Douglas-Dufresne with her 5 dogs. An out and out Kenyan, a passionate conservationist and an impeccable organizer in a most understated manner. By 8 am it was getting hotter, as we walked down wide dry luggas (riverbeds) with evidence all round of the power of the water when it does rain. We spotted elephants and warthogs coming down to waterholes, footprints of leopards and hyenas and a huge variety of bird life.

By 10.30am we were looking for a shady tree to stop for breakfast, and what a meal appeared from the boxes the camels were carrying. A fire was lit, coffee boiled and then ‘How would you like your eggs?’ always accompanied by bacon, sausage and toast. 45 minutes later we were on the move again, walking for 3-4 hours until we stopped for beers, lunch, siesta and our home for the night.

At 5.30pm we would go for a short walk looking for animals appearing after the heat of the day, then back for a hot shower that was rigged up hanging from a tree. As dusk fell the fire was lit and we were offered almost anything you could think of from the drinks table, with ice always available, before an incredible dinner which could have been roast lamb, pork or beef all cooked on a grill over firewood.

It was the most magical week. I have just deleted most of the 237 emails in my inbox and read the messages on the family WhatsApp wondering if we were alive!

Talking......from Lincolnshire

February 10th 2025 Will Howe is an arable farmer from Sleaford, Lincolnshire. The soils are predominantly heavy. There is 1000ha of cropping including winter wheat, spring beans, spring oats and oilseed rape. He also manages a contracting business Thorpe Farming Ltd. I like to think I am a rational person but there are somethings that bring out the inner Trump in me. Not the proclamations about creating American jobs for American people or trying to regain control of the borders for both drug and immigration control. However, the crazier stuff he comes out with when you just know he is having a quiet 5 mins on the White House porcelain and no aide is comfortable enough to babysit him yet and simultaneously take control of his X feed, whist reassuring him that was indeed the best passing of a stool known to man.

For me there are 2 things that turn my hair blond and get me gesticulating like a fake-tanned Millwall Bushwacker. It is people who turn their phones on the minute the tyres screech on the tarmac after their holiday to Benidorm. There is just no need. I can’t imagine there are many MD’s of the FTSE 100 on the red eye flight from Alicante to Stanstead, so enjoy the peace that little bit longer and keep the wretched phone turned off.

Even worse are those that are retired who insist on doing their weekly shop on a Saturday. The Cover crops still doing their thing only time of the week I go near a supermarket is on the way to watch the kid’s sports matches on a Saturday. In the spirit of keeping my carbon footprint down I tie in witnessing another drubbing at netball, or retrieving my son’s battered body from a crumpled heap somewhere near his own tryline, with a ridiculously time consuming shopping experience dancing around fellow shoppers who appear to be having a nap, whilst others are questioning the checkout person if they can split a pack of ham as they only really need 2 slices yet there are 4 in the pack. Please, come back on Mon-Fri when the rest of us are at work.

To prove I am not ageist, or discriminatory at any level, I have succumbed to my online auction addiction and my latest purchases could be at best described as elderly. We have a problem at Worths filling the sheds in that the 50 year old concrete drying floor is tired, and when using a grain pusher to heap the grain the drying covers move which fills the air vents with grain, whilst also getting the grain too tight to allow adequate air flow. So, much to my horror I have made the backward step of buying a 30+ year old grain elevator, and a 23 year old trailer. The trailer What a beauty! still has the paint on the floor which is a good sign and will allow us to run three trailers therefore easing the pressure on the store and cartmen.

With the land too wet to travel, we are fulltime in the workshop preparing for harvest, with every eventuality catered for. As a wise 15 year old told me last year when he found we weren’t carrying a spare disc for a cultivator that hadn’t been used in 14 years; “Fail to prepare, prepare to fail”. Perhaps good advice for his upcoming GCSE revision!

Talking......North of the Forth

3000 RPM February 5th 2025

Tom Pate farms 240ha of arable on a tenanted farm in Angus. Cropping includes wheat, spring barley, rye and oilseed rape along with land let for potatoes and vining peas. Additionally, around 6500 pigs are reared annually under contract and 600 Christmas turkeys sold directly to the public under the KellyBronze franchise. On his wife’s 380ha family farm in the Angus Glens they also run 200 red deer hinds plus followers for venison production, along with developing a forestry enterprise.

Our main farm buildings have, like many steadings, had various uses over the years and been adapted and modified over time. One such shed is where we tip grain off the combine before going through the drier and where we store machinery and fertiliser the rest of the year. At one time it was a potato store with fans and vents and an insulated roof. The insulation consisted of polystyrene sheets nailed onto the purlins. There was a gap between the roof sheets and the insulation that became a preferred sanctuary for the local feral pigeon community.

Fed up of these feathered squatters pooping on my machinery and being a general nuisance the decision was taken to remove the insulation and make the shed bird proof.

Having been warned just how nasty accumulations of pigeon excrement are to human health (resulting in rather nasty chronic lung conditions) a full hazmat suit and mask were bought and not being able to ask anyone else to do such a dirty task it was left to Halfway through the job Pigeon Poo PPE me to do the job. Armed with a crowbar, cherry picker and three huge skips the job has been completed, and the shed is now a cleaner and brighter place to work. The pigeons are a bit confused, but I am sure they will find suitable lodgings in Dundee!

Winter ploughing has been progressing well and should be finished mid-February. The KV plough now in its third spring season is making a beautiful job in the hands of Colin. The ground is coming up far nicer than this time last year which is a joy to see.

Pigs and prime deer have both moved off farm this month. The deer have spent an extra winter on the farm, so I was particularly pleased to see them heading off. Venison sales are starting to pick up and I get the feeling that this often-overlooked meat is coming in for a bit of a resurgence. Producers of wild, farmed and park deer are working hard to promote venison and with its environmental Beautiful ploughing conditions. credentials, health benefits and versatility is a great option for the modern consumer. I am completely biased but a good bit of venison beats lamb and beef every time!* A deer quality assurance visit and an SQC audit in one week I am now complianced-out**! I am a supporter of Quality Assurance schemes, but it is always a huge relief to get these visits completed.

Between pigs, deer, cereals and turkeys I have numerous inspections over the course of the year and am becoming quite proficient at the associated paperwork. *I think the editor likes when I write controversial things occasionally… **Not an actual word. But it should be.
