Parliament debate this next week on Schemes.
So long as the abattoirs continue to close, rather than re-open, it's just words. So long as the supply chain continues to get longer and more concentrated, rather than shorter and more diverse, then it's just words. Fully appreciate that it's decisions on high that are the problem, you can only do what you can do.
Could you point us to anyone in Defra working specifically on the abattoir issue whom we could lobby ?
Then don’t.Just got my grant accepted thankyou very much! But I’m not sure I fancy spending £35k plus the grant on a drill
Ok I won’t xThen don’t.
Can you appeal?Just had confirmation
Can you appeal?
We're just finalising the adding value round now and will publish details soon - I'll share here when we do@Janet Hughes Defra Just wondering if you finalised your 'adding value round' where grain storage was mentioned on page one of this thread ? Would be very interested to know.Many thanks.
Thank you.We're just finalising the adding value round now and will publish details soon - I'll share here when we do
I do tend to agree here. I feel that secretly janet may be as frustrated at the system and how defras relashionship with farmers has been in the past. I do think she is trying her best for us just those higher up have very little clue.@Janet Hughes Defra
I had pleasant chat with Janet this morning.
I will hold my hand up and admit I have been very critical of lots she been trying to do.
But.. chatting on the phone I do get the impression she is genuine in her attempts to do these new schemes right for farmers.
Probably a breath of fresh air in a stale rotten system.
I hope she can achieve her goals and I am looking forward to working with her and her team on topic in relation to the schemes.
Fingers crossed we have someone who is on the farmers side and understands how we bring kicked from every side at the moment.
