Bovaer has not been found to reduce cattle fertility at the approved dose - Full Fact A claim that the manufacturer of Bovaer has invested in a synthetic meat company is true, but there’s no evidence the feed additive reduces the fertility of cows at approved doses.

ere we go again! More nonsense circulating about #Bovaer, the animal feed supplement being trailed to reduce METHANE - a major GreenHouseGas - in cattle. Who is pumping out this rubbish? I look to factcheckers like @fullfact.org to ensure facts are facts fullfact.org/news/bovaer-... #climate

My weekly update is out! After being snowed in for over a week it’s time to look at what comes next - #flooding #northyorkshire

Can farming become climate sustainable? A pioneering programme covering a vast swathe of northern England is underway to explore sustainability on farms

Whether agriculture can evolve in ways that are conducive to the climate crisis is a massive topic. For this week's newsletter we caught up with reps from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority to hear more about the farms now carrying out important climate trials. tinyurl.com/yu5hp8nv

the most important and timely piece of reading for this weekend. @ivorprice.bsky.social - thought you’d find it interesting too!

Approved: Huge solar farm in North Yorkshire But the agricultural land will also still host grazing sheep

Update from this morning's council meeting. Solar farms on agricultural land are still proving to be a contentious issue - but does allowing for grazing answer the objections? @northyorkshire.bsky.social #solar #agriculture #northyorkshire thenortherneco.substack.com/p/approved-h...

Ah that’s so kind, thankfully we’ve just heard they are safe. There’s a lot of trees down in the forest and their water is out so a couple of their friends rescued them and dropped them to a hotel. Hope you, and they, get reconnected soon 🤞

Stay safe! We’re still trying to work out what’s happening in beddegelert - electric and phones also off
