[QUOTE="kfpben, post: 9158402, member: 44296"] No the NFU is not Defra, which is why I used the term negotiation. I met Janet Hughes twice too, together with other ‘normal farmers’. She toured the country meeting with farmers. As far as I remember on here she got a fair chunk of borderline abuse. However, when government asks for a call for evidence anecdotes from farmers are not sufficient. You need pages of researched, technical evidence backed up by fact and science. Who else will provide that for farming if not the NFU? The NSA might do it for sheep, RABDF for dairy etc. but there isn’t anyone else who can currently perform this function for all ag. As for red diesel- do you think the Treasury would say no to more tax without a watertight case? Badgers- it’s not exactly a vote winner to kill them is it!? Again, very sound scientific evidence required, provided by the NFU. [/QUOTE]
