[QUOTE="Clive, post: 7433001, member: 6"] I do totally get the divided we fall argument (it's a very good one TBH) and have lived in hope that the NFU would reform along the lines I suggest above but its pretty clear that is not going to happen, its just works too well, for those that do have the power to makes such changes, as farmers we have little choice or ability to make any difference to such an organisation, "getting on" in the NFU clearly involves becoming a yes man (or woman) I've seen so many really good farmers with the right ideas become useless yes men as they get sight of a paid officer gravy train position ....... twitter is littered with their poor lost, empty souls It would not be heathy for us to only have a conservative party in UK politics, even the strongest supporters of the NFU must accept that competition / accountability is healthy nothing to stop a farmer being a member of both NFU and UK Farmers Union if they chose of course ?
