The main problem here is that by using this product we are buying into the idea that cows are connected to climate change. They are not. They have absolutely nothing to do with if.

Plants inhale Carbon-dioxide. So how can it be permanent. :/

They claim that Bovaer can't get into the milk but if a mother is nursing a baby, any Caffeine Alcohol, Curry’s, Fish, Antibiotics, Cows' milk or medicine of any kind affects the nursing infant as it goes into the milk - but magically they claim that Bovaer doesn’t go into the milk - I don't believe them.

Yeah and the scientists thougt is was perfectly "OK" to put offal in cattle cake and we ended up with mad cow desease, scientists also thought phalidamide was safe. Cows guts are designed to work the way they do. DON'T interfere with it. If it turns out bad then thats our dairy and beef industry destroyed.

Would you be interested in doing a video on the land-value tax in the context of farming?

What happens if your father hands on the farm upon his retirement at say age 67 to you? And then lives happily in the cottage for another 20 odd years? (And perhaps takes out a small insurance policy in case the worst should happen?)

"I hope you've not got this on while eating your dinner" Uhhhh... yeah... about that....

Morrisons, who are owned by one of those stupidly giant global corporations yay.

CO2 IS ABSORBED BY PLANTS GROWING AND MORE PLANTS ,LESS CO2 there is no huge build up

I love cheeses, milk, butter and everything that has dairy in it. Do I want to eat bovear!? No I don't! Did I look at getting my dairy from somewhere bovear free? Yes and it's too expensive and too much messing about. So decided to eat what I want and not worry. Don't no if it's connected, but me, the wife and daughter are all suffering with itchy arms and legs. We all gotta die sometime.

I just found you and subscribed, great video. Great points. Diversification options might be useful, but decreases farming and UK food and is the most difficult box in the Anshoff matrix. ask me to explain if interested

Good video and glad you got your chance to speak to and with folk at the OFC 👌

The Government have an opening for; The Keeper of Gates, perhaps you could apply.

Great to see the old films, the evaquees who stayrd at our farm joined in with the work, and some in our area stayed and didnt go back

Well done olly its good you spoke your mind

5.27 nailed it.

Loved the definitions for the two conferences. 😂

He is one of the cunch of bunts they have in spades

Global warming is not caused by manmade emissions. Look at the graph for the average global tempererature over the last 1 million years, search on google. Look where we are on the graph and use some real intelligence to come to your own conclusion. Instead of swallowing the propaganda spewed out by the global elite.

Do you think it fair that landowners who are "fortunate" enough to have their land approved for building should get the development value of the land? The system of paying the agricultural value of the land plus a figure to cover for disturbance was adopted by the Attlee government in the 40's but abolished by the Conservatives a decade later. The Labour government is proposing a return to the old system. How is that unfair?

Great to hear your experiences & Looking forward to hearing more about agroforestry and affordable accessable food - maybe see you at the ORFC ‘In the field’ event at Wakelyns Agroforestry farm later in the year

Spot on -- he's a straight-up-and-down metropolitan Labour party careerist, an ideal man for Mr Starmer to have in his cabinet. They've got 411 MPs and none of the DEFRA ministers has any connections to farming; couldn't they have found just one? Farming is not going to see much good from Labour. They've got too much else on their plate.

Hi, I'm a politics and society teacher in Ireland and grew up a dairy farm. There are two theorists on the course that I must teach, Vandana Shiva and Fr Sean Mcdonagh. Both of whom rail against modern agriculture and the damage it does to our ecosystem. I have huge concerns about climate change but I also feel the question is never asked "and what happens if billions die without fertiliser"?. Who is a good person to teach about in terms of defending modern agriculture without denying global warming or being alt right?

I think at this point it would be very useful if someone put together a graphic of all the anti farmer changes this government has made so far

Definitely not bored of listening to people about this as it's too important

good episode.

Well done

I will just NOT take the chance seeing ALL the BS from governments and big corporates around today...never forget 2020 and the forced interventions. As for gates...he reminds me of that nutty professor ...just DONT trust him or the WEF at all.

We hear a lot about what's wrong with Government policy, but I'd like to know what you'd suggest as policy, you've reiterated the clarion call for 'cheap food for the poor', but how would you see that enacted? American policy is to questionably maximise production vs UK policy to questionably maximise environmentalism. What would be your fine grained approach to subsidies? The UK cannot compete on price or quantity, your thesis seems to be that relying on imports is a bad idea so we should subsidise domestic production (I agree with this), if you were to advise the government, what support structure would you devise?

Great idea getting the insta active. I’ve gone to follow. All the best 🧡

OFC = Corporate production arrogantly thinking they feed people when they pay shareholders at huge external cost. ORFC = Smaller farmers (and sadly too many non farmers) looking for answers to save their farms, produce real food that minimises external costs. OFC Ticket £500 ORFC ticket £100 I saw very many videos of Thursdays Farmers protest in Oxford and not a single tractor did I see like the MF you are leaning on...... We thought about going with our old Zetor!

Shame on Henry Tufnell. Well done you.

Why arent the peaceful farmers arrested like other peaceful protestors?

One policy of increasing value here in the USA may be of interest to you. Some time ago, food support for those in need was placed within the Agriculture Dept., and the Ag Commitees of our Congress- initially, this was because the programs were seen as a way of dumping surplus commodities into the mouths of the poor. Later the transfers were made into a cash voucher system. About a decade ago, 'SNAP' as we call it, was newly allowed to be spent at actual Farmers Markets, which have now moved into some of these blighted neighborhood 'food deserts'. This gives small scale growers a better market opportunity, and the poor get better foodstuffs brought right into their own neighborhoods.

What happened to your tractor, has it been rolled? the hard nose and cab look a bit off.

The great thing is rumin8 is more effective and is derived from seaweed which means this whole issue doesn’t even matter if we just ensure the superior product makes it to the market

nice jacket oli, i have a similar one but not as rugged as yours

The Oxford real farming conference is for farmers who want to learn from other farmers, the Oxford Farming Conference is mostly for the farming service industry to lobby and promote their interests by the looks of things, the Oxford real farming conference is significantly bigger and there definitely was not a lot of sandals on display but then it was a cold couple of days

Someone I know who is very much on the anti-farmer left posted an old newspaper article throwing the fact farmers diversified by renovating barns, etc, back at them!! It was laughable - dammed if you do dammed if you don't. Most of what he posts is from environmentalists with a neo-colonialist idea on food supply. While we 'rewild' & build more houses other countries can feed us.

Morrisons only backed us as there largest depo in the south west was blocked by 50 tractors.

I diversified back in the 1970s its call survival. Never made a living form farming, its a hobby.

Excellent stuff, what was Steve’s reply? And I thought teresa Coffey was the worst ES, Steve really is the pits!

Hi Ollie, I don’t think your listeners/viewers are bored of your commentary on current government policy: it’s both interesting and very current.

There is nothing Rt Honourable about Steve Reed, he has to be the worst Environment Secretary we have ever had. The NFU should have spoken up as you did at the conference regarding Steve Reed's disgusting comments alluding to a farmer suffering from mental illness without knowing the facts. Usually, when pressed for details on incidents, politicians are keen to distance themselves by saying they cannot comment on individual cases yet, in this instance, Steve Reed instantly labelled it as a mental health issue, without knowing a single fact about those involved, just so that he can distance himself from any blame.

Sadly Starmer is incredibly authoritarian in the the party, look how he has treated the left, steve reed knows if he stood up for farmers against Starmer he'd be out. Also the Tories have fucked everything. We had 2 rare elections were positive change was on offer and the country rejected it. Now look at us

Hi Oli....the wooly ones look like they are enjoying the cold dry conditions......better than our usual "dreich" (cool damp windy) maritime conditions....the last few weeks have been an artic blast....up in Jockland....(all my cattle are outside)....we have had about 6 inches of snow and -10 deg C.....now be ready for the big melt and floods..... you are correct...politicians talk the talk.....but rarely walk the walk....meanin gactions speak louder than words....thus far....our esteemed Labour government have done nothing to improve the lot of farmers and food producers...quite to the contrary. these farming conferences....i feel....are a lot of BS.....corporates and big farmers...(who are frequently in the pockets of both government and corporates and assurance bodies).....saying how good they are...did i mention the NFU....i will try not to swear too much....the fundamental question....corporates / MPs/ NFU who do they represent and where does their allegiance ly? i could spend pages (many of my comments get mysteriously deleted.....??).....stating the current mess UK agriculture is in....there is light at the end of the tunnel....(i have spent a lot of time in France and visited both Hungary and Romania.....which is relevant....) direct selling ........every French town has a daily market, little villages have a market once or twice per week.....same in Hungary and Romania....when i was in Budapest somem years ago....me and girlfriend....went into a massive hall....all small stalls...an indoor farmers market...open every day....e,g. potatoes....fill your bag out of a 1 tonne tattie box..... in UK we have been succured into comodity production and selling to third parties....(open market where price pressure is always downwards...think milk....)....ok i admit if you produce 5000 tonnes of grain a year...direct selling is not an option....(direct to a distiller or brewer perhaps)......but most farmers are really small producers.....time UKk agri stated to think out of the box.....and bypass third parties and supermarkets....where possible .....direct to consumers..... keep up the good work.....😎

Or if you want something visual, that's not too abysmal We could take in an old Steve Reed movie.

Hi Oli. Great to see you again. Loved what you said at The Farmers Weekly talk, saying Reed should resign. Brilliant summary of Reed’s stupid speech. Shame you mention the group Vegans Support the Farmers. They really don’t 😂

The determination of farmers to keep at what can only described as a labour of love (since the easy money is in selling the land to build houses on) and to protest in the most polite and unassailable way possible is inspiring, and the fact that chains like Morrisons are starting to publicly support farmers might show - hopefully - that the momentum is shifting
