She's clearly biased towards the coporate members of the NFU compared to the farmer members. She's finishing naturally in February apparently but should she still be there today?
When she first took over she was on the Red Tractor board and wanted to remain on it whilst being NFU president...

The Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board (AHDB) is forecasting that UK wheat and barley stocks will remain tight, relative to envisaged demand for the remainder of 2023/2024.
One of the key factors coming into play is the year-on-year...
The laupin stag rag the furrow popped through the post today and flicking through they have a full page ad on something called harvestlab grain sensing. Anyone used it claims to give real time analysis of grain protein.
On the 9th October Tom Bradshaw tweeted picture 1.
On the 11th October the NFU released a statement pictures 2,3 and 4 and quoted Tom Bradshaw directly.
It clearly says that the NFU have been involved for 18 months and Tom himself sits on the Red Tractor board. However Tom’s personal post...
Hi - im new here. I'm currently researching the market for automated (parametric) climate insurance for a variety of businesses across the UK. i.e. if it hails with greater than X force/energy, you get paid out some % per £1 insured next day, simple.

The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) Scotland said that some respondents to its annual harvest survey this year described their harvest as brilliant...
Thinking about starting drilling wheat next week. This early drilled stuff is going in mainly after early potatoes and some overwintered stubble that has been ploughed and pressed. We have subsoiled and disc & pressed after the potatoes. All seedbeds are really good and the nice bit of rain has...
Went organic 8 years ago, that got rid of fertiliser spreading and spraying, which I enjoyed, but the figures work. Now looking at sfi which will likely fill in more gaps again... soon I won't much be needed for 3/4 of the year, ultimate streamlining maybe, and probably offensive to stock...
Starting to get a little worried now. Spring seed might be short... Weather doesnt look great on the forcast - given how sh!t harvest was, could we be in for just as bad an autumn?
I've been curious about the oats in my breakfast bowl over a number of years and so have decided to ask some questions of people who know oats. As a youngster, I sampled most of the various grains that Dad grew on our farm. I tasted some kernels of field corn that we had shelled for the cattle...
