TFF Grass Roots Group

neilo · Aug 7, 2021

I've just been looking through this week's Farmers Guardian, and saw three quotes from members of the 'TFF Grass Roots Group' in the first couple of pages.

If there are a group of people that purport to represent us, then shouldn't we at least know who they are?

What are they talking about?

There was one quote on a piece about a carbon footprint report, and a couple more in a piece about LIS.

I don’t necessarily disagree with their comments, just that we, as TFF members, are being represented by persons unknown.

That’s ok then would hate to think it’s something trivial

Could be Clive's version of Jacob Rees Mogg's European Research Group

Unelected people representing us, @Clive will have a fit!

I bet they have a large asset base and a payroll of staff as well!

Disgusting behaviour

Must be a closed message group.... I wasn't invited! Possibly wisely....

@Derrick Hughes is your rep for TFF Grass Roots Cymru. All seed enquiries welcome.

Maybe they can tell us what to do with our wool this year. No one else has mentioned it.

What's LIS, if I may? Like LIC?

‘Livestock Information Service’ iirc, taking over the movement recording in England, from separate cattle and sheep databases I think.

You obviously weren't one of the chosen ones that were asked!?

It doesn't matter if I was or not. The point is that unknown individuals are apparently speaking for us. I don't know if they represent anyone's particular view, or just puppets for a carbon trading organisation, regenerative farming zealots or the Soil Association?

Whoever 'they' are, they are speaking for you, me, and everyone else that is a member of this forum.

It's like animal farm
We are all equal.

Sounds like misrepresentation.
