"The UK has traditionally been largely self-sufficient in sheep meat. But high feed and farming costs, market uncertainty and low profitability have seen flocks fall to their lowest number ever recorded."
Does this mean that instead of exposed, subsidised #grazing maintaining ever barer #moorland which should be regrowing its tree-cover, we're trending towards using #sheep instead of oil-fueled machinery or herbicides to control the vegetation around solar #PV instalations? Win-win-win-win-win, I'd say. Or as another great account on here calls it #multiSolving @bethsawin

About one in 12 sheep is gay, but when rams prefer the company of other rams, they're considered a commercial failure and slaughtered. In Germany, some are lucky enough to end up in the Rainbow Wool sanctuary, a biodiverse sheep farm that prioritizes animal welfare, run by Michel Stücke and his partner Jochen. Last month, the wool from some of those sheep was showcased by LA designer Michael Schmidt in his "I Wool Survive" collection, a collaboration with Grindr and publicist Kelly Cutrone. Dazed talked to Schmidt and Cutrone about the collection. Learn more about Rainbow Wool — including how to sponsor a gay sheep — at the second link.

I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to look like that.
Got the first two fingers on my right hand jammed between a trailer handle and towbar hooking up this morning.

I used Lego to design a farm for people who are blind – like me

Hey friends! I made this simple flyer about safe foods for ducks, and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to print it and put it up on the message boards at their local parks. Just one flyer can make a huge difference. https://www.allforgardening.com/1560685/hey-friends-i-made-this-simple-flyer-about-safe-foods-for-ducks-and-i-was-wondering-if-anyone-would-be-willing-to-print-it-and-put-it-up-on-the-message-boards-at-their-local-parks-just-one-flyer-ca/ #CountryLife #farming #gardening #homesteading #SelfSufficiency

Last year, we found that you could increase strawberry yield by 18 per cent under solar panels compared to strawberries in an open field. This agrivoltaic crop yield bump has been shown for dozens of other crops and solar panel combinations all over the world, including basil, broccoli, celery, corn, grapes, kale, lettuce, pasture grass, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes and more
