[QUOTE="Chris F, post: 7699161, member: 5328"] I speak to Defra about every other day. But not really about policy, more about how they are communicating with Farmers. Not farming groups, farmers. They are trying to listen to every one of you who makes an opinion and then from that form some consensus of policy. That can only be good. As each and every farmer gets a say. What they chose to say is up to them. Yes groups have formed on TFF to give evidence at a parliamentary level. But even that evidence was largely about how communcation happens. I can assure you the land agent who also gave evidence that day, only had one agenda, [B]to make land agents more money[/B]. And that who is currently swaying policy at a government level. More farming groups need to be set up, not less. Be it 50 or 100 of them. Farmers need to be in whitehall talking to civil servants, not pseudo farmers or land agents. If you follow the money in farming, it's not to farmers, its to the people who give evidence at these sorts of things. So the more farmers we have there, the better. In my opinion. [/QUOTE]
