[QUOTE="hally, post: 7866445, member: 10817"] It is a common NFU ploy to deflect critics, years ago I had a breakfast meeting ( handy for us livestock guys) with the then NFU national chairman at the time ( an arable farmer). I brought up the fact that support for hill farmers had been eroded due to NFU influence when government did away with a whole load of support and nobody at the NFU fought this . He responded by making a joke saying that hill farmers would just waste it on land rovers and moved the converstation on, sadly I was not confident enough to challenge him. Then the NFU were representative of the big boys then and nothing has changed, anybody who does try to participate from the grass roots are either ignored or squeezed out. [/QUOTE]
