[QUOTE="ImLost, post: 7433017, member: 57170"] My personal view on a union is that it is not the way to change the industry. I feel it needs a mindset change for a lot of farmers (not all, please note) and a rough plan to be drawn up by someone who has a lot of common sense and a good understanding of both business and agriculture as separate things, that the majority can follow to swing things more in our favour. I understand that there are legislative changes that need to be made, but I don't feel that a unionist "let's protest" attitude is the way to do it. A lot of the issues I see with our industry and the complaints around the prices we get etc. once analysed, It often seems to come down to an overall mindset change that's needed within the industry, away from the traditional ways of marketing, selling etc. Edited to add; I'm aware this comes across as a very vague response, but hopefully I've made it clear that a union shouldn't necessary or the preferred way forward.
