So how does it work over there. It's seems your government is pretty farmer friendly as ag contributes most to GDP. I guess you don't need an NFU as everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet.Would be a bugger of an idea to implement but I can see the merits of having an organisation representing each sector, more importantly a bit more clout for your lobbying body- as with most lobby groups they seem to make more of a squeak after the fact (usually after they've lost).
I just have an uneasy feeling about how a trade deal with the EU (for example) would go down if it's left up to a lot of fragmented groups all trying to get a couple of politicians to do the work, maybe a discussion worthy of its own thread.
Either way it's not going to have much tangible effect on the running of my own farming enterprise- the weaker UK ag becomes, the better for us "cheap competitors", but I do feel attached to it all, in a weird way, having decended from the Scots.
