Brett Vale Farming Diary May 2026

Or as we like to call it, "Where's Olly?".

Olly starts his May Diary with an apology for being late but the delay is not all on him.

We were all a little busy last week with tractor tours, woodland walks, hosting the CLA AGM, MP visits, The Red Rose reopening and the launch of The Crown's new beer garden.

To be fair, we probably also spent quite a bit of time talking about the weather. As farmers, we're celebrating the rain at last but the 'office types' are complaining that it's turned a little damp and chilly for them after the unseasonably warm May.

"You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you simply cannot please all of the people all of the time."

If anyone has any questions for Olly regarding farming or his new role (you have to read the diary to find out about that), please do send them to info@dairyfarmoffice.co.uk and we'll pass them on.
