farming's civil war is coming

[spin cycle]

between RT,the govt and those farmers that support them and the rest

it's inevitable as RT 'goes for broke' in a regulatory power grab frenzy......question is will the nfu change sides or will it remain in RT's back pocket?

they're trying 'run with the hare and hunt with the hounds'.....as owners they should've played a role in the new standards yet they 'responded' to the consultation being against some things......a totally bollox scenario

Anyone got a good long wall to line them up against?

you can make jokes but ,sadly, the time is coming....no more 'i know he's on the other side but he's terribly nice' you're one side or the other.....if nfu doesn't change sides then ANY nfu member will become an enemy

we're nfu at mo but my 'line in the sand' is if RT get a role in ELMS.....if they do,of course, we'll resign memberhip but also our decades old association with nfu mutual and the wonderful current agent will end and ANY nfu member i come across will be called out publicly as a traitor

You may have a long line of traitors at the mart then to be shouting at

 

[DrWazzock]

They are like any sort of bully. They will come back and take more and more and more until somebody tells them to stop. I think the NFU line is always “just one more appeasement and they’ll go away”. Well they won’t go away if you keep giving things away. They will keep coming back for more.
The problem we have is we have no independent representation as producers. RT is a disaster because our customers have too much leverage in it and are calling the shots unhindered.

The thing is I walk outside this evening and everything is growing nicely, the air is clean, the stream is running clear., birds are whistling, everything is content and as it should be apart from my tractor clutch.
So why oh why is there this constant need for those above to tinker and micromanage? There isn’t a problem here. We don’t need your input thanks. f**k off and bother somebody else with your schemes and your money.
