A good resource for teachers.

May well be a good fact resource for teachers , but will they read it? , and if they do, will they take it to heart . It's my belief that a lot of today's teachers have an agenda , and a tendency to "environmental veganism dystopia" such that even reasoned arguments don't register . And worst of all , they are indoctrinating our next generation .
Teachers don't have 'an agenda'. What they do have is a stupid workload, which means that out of necessity they take on board and impart to their pupils whatever information is most readily available to them.
It is the abject failure of the livestock industry to make its side of the story available to teachers that is the problem, not the mindset of teachers.
The question you should be asking is not "Will they read it?", but "Will the people I pay to promote my business make it available to them?".

You got a "loud mouth", teacher that wants to get" Her beliefs ", across your up against it and I know it?

Perhaps the most encouraging part of that is that the Farmwel chap is giving evidence to DEFRA. If you are on here, well done Sir
This is the sort of report that the livestock industries representative bodies should be shouting about, not the "we know cows are killing the planet with their methane but we are doing research into feeding them different things" bullocks they are coming out with. What sort of an industry goes around admitting to crimes it hasn't committed FFS.

Some teachers do have an agenda and I have seen it first hand on several occasions, the fact it isn't supposed to happen doesn't mean it never does. I also have friends in England, who have had a similar experience, and family in Scotland too - specifically at the time of the independence referendum. Teachers are like nurses, and lauded as being saintly, virtuous etc. etc., which is just so much bullsh!t.
They are everyday people doing a job, so most are alright most of the time, some are great all of the time and some are bad all of the time. And some do have agendas which they do try to follow.
It's been out for a fortnight but not a peep as far as I can see from the national media so they really do need prompted and pushed and reminded that they are there to report the news rather than dictate which parts they think we need to be told. One side makes headlines whether it's true or not but game changing facts get ignored. I know we get sick of saying it but our representatives really need to hammer this home.Perhaps the most encouraging part of that is that the Farmwel chap is giving evidence to DEFRA.

Us farmers are crap at selling ourselves!
We are great at rearing animals and growing crops, but abysmal at sales and marketing. And at the core of ALL businesses has to be sales and marketing. Don't sell anything, no business; simples! And marketing is simply about creating sales.
2 questions we should be asking:
"What is our point?" and
"Why should anyone care?"
We can choose to keep our heads stuck in the sh!t, or we can choose to do something about it. There are of course some great farming businesses that have found their own way forward, and hats off to them, BUT there are many UK farming businesses simply hoping they can sell what they produce without proper consideration to their customers and markets.
Lecture over.
