[QUOTE="The Ruminant, post: 4846972, member: 487"] I’ll caveat what I’m about to say next by first of all stating that I have real respect for you and for what you’ve achieved. You came along to the Neal Kinsey conference I organised back in 2013 and, whilst the rest of us were slowly coming to the conclusion that the ‘guru’ had too many anecdotes and not enough hard science you were sitting in the conference busying yourself setting up this place - TFF! Fair play to you, for this and all the other things you’ve achieved in life. Caveats now out of the way, I’d also say I don’t believe you have “no ability to have a say in that”. Why not? Why do you have more faith in Gove and his flunkeys listening to you - the owner of the most powerful agricultural forum in the uk - than you do the NFU? Why were you prepared to invest time and money taking yourself to Whitehall to speak to the Environment Secretary (your quote from another thread: “[I]I was sat in a room in Westminster this week having been invited by Micheal Gove to talk conservation ag and communication with farmers with a team of policy makers”[/I]) but reckon you have no ability to have a say in the way the NFU is run. If you - the ‘Rupert Murdoch of the UK Agricultural Social Media world’ - can not get an audience with the new leaders of the NFU then I’m Arthur Scargill. (I’m not, by the way...) :) [/QUOTE]
