Been lambing all night - sorry if I was sharp. Just fed up with irrelevant “run to NFU” type calls rather than DIY.
I would think them complaining about the NFU, are not members, and also them that want someone else to do the leg work,
I really cannot believe how many there is on here complaining about the state of farming, yet do feck all about it themselves, or is it a case of they don't want to do anything in case another farmer might get something out of it

I don’t know. I market and sell most of my own produce direct to the end user, so know that it’s all in my own hands. I’m not in the NFU or FA. Truth be known, I’m a bit like a sheep and often see other farmers as my competitors rather than allies.

Yes, the pictures definitely go together. The images were taken in Tesco chichester store. We have an ex student who lives and works down there. He is now a consultant in the sheep /cattle industry and has worked with the likes of Ritchey and others on EID in the Industry. Do not knock him because he is a Consultant, he is a very knowledgeable chap.

Thanks. And disappointing to the extreme - both that the supermarket did it and also that your ex-student hasn’t gone to the law on this one. Trading Standards/ASA would be quite happy to push this if asked.

Edit - assuming that he hadn’t, of course.
