Yes. Getting there. Temperature down but stuck with this ludicrous cough which I really starting to make my neck ache.

Yes, had to miss a Warhammer tornament last weekend with the old Corona. Playing in a two day even next weekend in Nottingham as I attempt to get to the top 20!
How many White Dwarf back copies would you like to buy my son collected for years and then left them with us when he left home!!

Knee felt a bit uncomfortable. Pulled a 10mm blackthorn spike out with pliers, swabbed it with some spirit.

Good thread. I am always amazed at how many “hangers on” turn up to all these meetings. Surely there must be more people relying on farming than actually doing it. We need far leaner and more reactive organisations at the top of farming.

There definally is pluses all sorts of so called industry.

He did attempt to answer the question, but without saying anything meaningful.

I think this means that ahdb will continue to support the dead tractor protection racket until they get voted out for doing so.

Unfortunately.

Farm profitability is being squeezed.

Disgraceful. This reinforces the fact that farmers are only stoking the gravy train engine - not actually riding on it. Don't ask a question unless you're sitting in first class with a linen napkin around your fat, pink chops.

Thanks very much for the video.

The speaker on the Microphone was appalling. He kept making excuses for importers that use "Equivalence" when Red Tractor dictates our use of chemicals within the industry and docks our prices if we fail to meet RT Audits - which include Chemicals being legal and DEFRA code in date. Obviously no importer meets UK chemical requirements at ANY time as their application rates and chemical use applies to the country of origin. The country doubtfully audits it's farms.

ADHB needs to change their emphasis 1,000,000%

It is NOT acceptable for a levy body to take UK farmers money, enable sub standard imports and enable damaging levy payers. Sort your act out now ADHB, no way I'm paying for this.

And @Worsall

I do worry the NFU led investigation into what tests are done on imports is going to say "these tests are very expensive, it's cheaper to join RT, therefore be good lads, keep quiet and keep paying your RT subs. You don't know what's good for you, only we know what's good for you."

...and completely ignore the fact that AIC currently allow a pesticide declaration for imported grain, which is completely free!
