NFU enrol MP's on a crash course in Agriculture

[yellowbelly]

New MPs enrol on NFU farming fellowship scheme - Farmers Weekly

Twenty MPs from across the three major political parties have enrolled on an industry programme to expand their knowledge of British food and the farming

www.fwi.co.uk

Initially looks a good idea, some of the 'stakeholder partners' who will probably be lecturing them look a bit 'dangerous' though .....ABP...AIC

They're even going to finish with a graduation dinner too - just hope it doesn't end up with a pigs head on a table à la the alleged Bullington do, Cameron and Johnson were at.

good idea but the NFU should have nothing to do with the AIC ………. they are not friends of uk farmers

This ABP ?

The ABP that throws money at Harper Adams to tell the world that cows cause climate change ? Educating MP's, yes, excellent idea. But presenting a future for food and farming where each commodity is supplied by an ever shrinking number of integrated serfs ? Not so clever.

Got to be a good idea in principle. NFU doing the "educating"? Hmmm,

Letting the likes of AIC and ABP push their own agendas will end up with MP's with a biased view and, as the saying goes, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

APB have been a NFU sponsor for years …….. if they want credibility with farmers this kind of conflict of interest has to end

both will arrive with more money and way better trained representation than the NFU who have simply brokered opportunity for them

the naivety is unbelievable

 

[teslacoils]

Will be a busy few days of seeing snouts in troughs, I imagine.

 

[Humble Village Farmer]

The non farmers union educating MPs about farming is going to be like putting a shark in charge of the swimming pool.

Correct .

 

[Devil's advocate]

Clive should be allowed a presentation.

Guy Watson of Riverford Produce

George Wood a local hill farmer who says moorland fires are caused by sheer bloody neglect by ecologists

can’t see the NFU being keen brokering such opportunity for such actual farmers as they are for processors and monopolistic retailers

shame as i would welcome such opportunity to tell it like it is
