The issue BFU has is that its doing eveything behind closed doors and unless you are a member you do not really have any idea what they are about/doing.
They certainly need to open up the BFU pages on here to non members to be able to read but only BFU members with an active membership number can post on those pages/ threads.
I know BFU have had a lot of problems with a certain TFF NFU member trying to undermine the BFU but they cannot let that one member affect growing the BFU.
Also be a good idea to get some clothing lines/ pens etc printed off with the BFU and links to the BFU pages printed off and given away at shows/livestock markets/ trade shows etc.

yes you can, put the whole lot in it, shut the gate for 3 years
anyway as above this is off topic, what we need is farmers quitting RT, you up for it ?
Are you a BFU member ? if not just pay the 10 quid and join, less than you spend on bacon buttys at sedge

You should have gone to the NFU meeting. 3-0
When you say 3-0 was that to the nfu or farmers?
Becuse it was a Q&A thread not a discussion thread - when all questions were answered it was closed
you are welcome to start threads discussing individual answers
Nothing to do with me ..... either sleeping or pushing slurry this morning

The NFU are working behind closed doors doing a lot of work "behind the scenes" , its emerged it's even more behind the scenes then we even imagined.
I have no idea what they're doing as I'm not a member of the NFU. If someone wants to know what's happening with the BFU, pay your £10 and join up, get involved to help fight back again all the parasites.

It only costs a tenner for any nonmember to become a member to see what's there. Not a life changing amount really

They will not get anywhere near the number of members they could be doing so unless they open up and start informing non members what they are about/ doing on issues like RT etc!
A lot of people will not join up unless they know what the BFU is about/ how they can get their views listened to etc within the BFU!
They need to keep moving forward and i appreciate its being done by people in their own time but the BFU needs to be moving forward all the time.
I have no idea for example what the BFU response is/ what they are doing about this RT mess involving the AHDB etc?

Right, there are only so many farmers look at this Forum and I guess it is a small percentage of the farming community. So there are 2 problems, 1. how do we get the message out to the farming community regarding the WWF Basket and the GFC problem? 2. BFU, again there is only a small proportion look at this forum, so we need to get it to a wider audience. Oh sorry that is 3 problems.
Any ideas? Yes I am a NFU member and I Have paid my £10. But I have one or 2 problems the NFU are looking into for me, so I have chosen to fight from the inside starting at Branch level.

Farmers weekly is doing a good job of helping with no.1 so good in fact that I will sort a subscription for it out

Your £10 gets you your annual membership to a fledgling union that is fighting back against the onslaught against our industry.
It needs members to show the numbers of farmers that are against the new proposals forced upon the industry. It also needs members that are prepared to help out with the workload needed to fight back.
If your after 10% discount off the list price of a new pickup, perhaps the NFU are your best option. Just remember the NFU are helping pave the way for the new regulations the supermarkets are expecting to be delivered.
@Grass And Grain what is written on the BFU webpage that advertises what your about and trying to deliver. I'm only asking incase the committee think there might be something to add to help potential members understand what they're getting for their £10.

Sugar Beet boys could pull out making it a condition that requirement for RT assurance is deleted.
