Erm, I think they were probably paid to print that advert rather than doing it out of the goodness of their heart

Yes I agree but they could have given a less favourable write up in the editorial

.........but they could have easily distant themselves from BFU.
Perhaps the yellow Peril realise that BFU could be a force for good once it gets well established.

For those of us that don't have a copy.., give us the foot notes?
from Wiki
On 10 December 1908, a meeting was held in an ante-room at the Smithfield Show to discuss whether a national organisation should be formed to represent the interests of farmers. The outcome was the National Farmers' Union (NFU).
The first President, Colin Campbell, worked to get new branches off the ground, encourage membership and establish the NFU's credibility with Government, at a time when farming was going through the longest and deepest depression in its history, as imports of cheap grain and frozen meat flooded in from abroad.
in 2023 - "an ante-room at the Smithfeild show" = TFF. and today the "cheap grain and meat flooding in from abroad" is the same reason for potential revolution / desire for change
nothing new and history is rather good at repeating itself !
businesses don't turn away money OR upset existing customers

they are a shite business however who seem to have forgot who their customers are, they mistake AGM sponsors for customers so as I say do not upset them

Quite, and the reference to the BFU’s ‘first’ advertisement could be seen as a wink to that…

Preaching to the converted I expect, but FW is worth the sub again now, under the editorship of AM.
They do appear to be giving BFU a helpful push on this RT thing
Magazines are kind of dated in this day and age but I think it's worth subscribing.
Abi Kay expose on the meat industry was well worth the funding. Andrew is writing good leaders that are intelligent and they are trying to find innovative slants.
I find the awards tedious personally.
I don't understand the whole transition stuff , we are not obligated to transition.
We'd miss it if it went.

That is absolutely mint. Cripes, you'll have spilt some corn flakes with that, guys. Many congrats. BFU should grow to become the dominant voice of British agriculture. I wish you all the best.
