[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 6746803, member: 699"] I do wonder where you get these very odd ideas and you obviously don't read some of these reports or the comments from people who have read them. I would like to know what you think my generation is? I am afraid that I would not in any way give advice to the NFU on the way forward on climate change and it might surprise you to know that I am in some ways a climate change denier. However the weather has definitely changed in my lifetime, mostly for the better!! (apart from the rain.) I am glad you agree that you recognise the work the NFU has done on TB as without them the Badger cull would never have happened. I am not sure that the people who understand the science of TB would agree with your statement about transmission of the disease and how to control it. No country in the world which has had a TB problem has been able to eradicate the disease without controlling it in the wildlife. I really don't know why you criticise the NFU or its President at a time when there are going to be the greatest changes in agriculture, food production and the environment in any of our lifetimes and this all going to be happening in the next few months. It is the only organisation that we have that is looking after the interests of all farmers, members or not. Personally I believe we are extremely fortunate to have Minette at this difficult time, the profile of agriculture and the NFU has never ever been higher. She has been on the Today program every week since the start of the year, and we are still in January. Apart from during FMD the NFU has never had such a high profile. With so many new MPs and with a large government majority it is essential we all sing from the same hymn sheet. [/QUOTE]
