    Pick and Mix approach by Gov to Rock Review

    Over a years work by Baroness Rock to try to integrate tenants into a post BPS world has resulted in a load of "Pick & Mix" announcements by Gov today.. Great to see the Tory party looking after their landowners first yet again! Any thoughts? e.g. Tenants can join SFI but not CS for example...

    No Win No Fee RICS land agency?

    I am more than certain just like the Law sector that there is room for this service in our sector and especially for the small and upland farmers? Any thoughts or debate appreciated as £100 plus per hour for agency these days is nuts...

    Ask yourself.. As a farmer do you qualify for a foodbank? Discuss?

    I have a few neighbours who would qualify for foodbanks as farmers because every year they earn nothing after growing thousands of pounds of food.. Is this the future in the UK?

    Is it time for NATO to enter Ukraine?

    Does anyone think that after fannying around humouring Putin that is time to push into Ukraine and help our European brothers? It would get rid of silly fuel price tracker threads for a start! Have we got any national cahonas or not farmers??
