[QUOTE="The Ruminant, post: 5806218, member: 487"] I went to a TB meeting the other day, organised by the NFU to educate us about the ways to keep our area as TB4. It was excellent, really informative. Natural England / RPA are several years late paying HLS monies to one of my clients. NFU lobbying secured a 70% “advance” payment, thankfully. NFU has been lobbying hard, really hard, to force Gove to make changes to the proposed Agriculture Bill. Thank goodness, as I’m not sure who else was watching our for us farmers. I also believe NFU’s lobbying is one of the main reasons food and farming is at the forefront of the Brexit discussions. They’ve worked hard (albeit helped by having a political hard hitter as Secretary of State) to raise its profile. Finally, just for the avoidance of doubt, I’m not affiliated to the NFU in any way so speak as I observe it from the outside. I think we are extremely lucky to have a strong union and think the current top team of Minette, Guy and Stuart are excellent. [/QUOTE]
