Ask her if the NFU have a conflict of interest by representing farmers and part owning RT, which the majority of farmers detest ....... especially as we import non FA food and have a wrath of Cross Compliance rules that cover most of FA !

Ask her why RT ,just to justify themselves,add more and more regulations each year some of which is laughable. When will the extra bureaucracy end so we can ,eventually,pull our boots on and do some work.
Our regional NFU communictions adviser is a keen follower of TFF, I would imagine it's the same for all regions.
You don't need to print this out; answers will have been prepared well in advance.
If only as much effort could go into communicating with the wider world as goes into keeping an eye on the farming community.
I have little doubt @Guy Smith is already keeping an eye on this thread. If not, he will be now

Ask her ... due to the fact the the NFU does not represent the grass roots farmers does she feel guilty that the organisation is still taking membership fees off farmers and what is she going to do to stop the stem of members leaving.

Could you ask what she thinks about legalising Hare coursing, so I can decide who carries out this sport on my land and allow me to rent it out to a coursing syndicate . It would be no different to letting land to a shoot or metal detectorists as they don’t like to tread on each other’s toes . This would also save the local police a fortune as they could stop chasing them with multiple car/ officers and helicopters for really no return and also the causers wouldn’t need to drive on my fields every other day .

I’m sure Guy has been asked that on here in the past and put up figures to show membership is fairly static allthough that’s probably a year or few ago.
Smashing. I’ll look forward to a reply to my question then.
I’ll highlight yours for special attention....

Why is the ag further education system failing so dismally, Labour is becoming a huge problem and will only get worse and FE colleges offering ag courses are failing their students, Holme Lacy, Hartpury and Walford being 3 examples.

I will certainly feedback, and I think its important she realises the strength of feeling on some subjects out there with the grass root farmers. Im sure she does know but a few direct face to face questions might illicit some interesting responses.

I think they might be short of people willing to meet her, today I have had 3 invites at different venues to meet her, all question must be submitted before the event and was told they will be asked on our behalf to weed out any surprise's.

How is the NFU preparing to expose any future relaxation of food and biosecurity standards and welfare from imported food and livestock and what direct action will she support to oppose it?

Sounds like the sort of stage managed Q&A liked by politicians, a rehearsed answer to select questions to put over an agenda
I asked the question about how I ask her a question. Was told no need to pre submit.
