Just what I needed at lunchtime today. Found the young lad with dog on the road who denied all knowledge. Funny that as he’s been back 3 times since obviously trying to work out how to get it out 🤦‍♂️ #farming #poachers #ruralcrime @NfuWestSussex @SussexRuralCops

Hidden costs of food production today. As Joe Public cannot be trusted not to drive all over a field of wheat, I’m having to erect gates for the first time in 40 odd years. Roughly 2t of wheat needed to pay for this and zero return for my troubles. #farming #food #hiddencosts
