[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 4847430, member: 1048"] Why should a small farmers sub be thrown into the same pot as the large farmers subs only to be used to help large farmers when they have a problem on the same issue and not the small farmer?? ( ie BPS for example where unless you had a very large claim the NFU would not help you ). A large farmer could have a new problem every year for 5 years straight that the NFU needs to spend a lot of time helping them on for those 5 years, the small farmer might only 1 problem they need help with in say 30 years! why is the large farmer more deserving of help than the small farmer?? On the TB, they had a so called expert that didn't know what he was talking about, expected the members to do the job for him whilst he did sweet fa and when it was pointed out that is not what is meant to be happening and his job was to do research/ find info to help his members with etc etc he just put up the shutters and wouldn't do anything. Yet go to many other organizations on the TB issue everyone will go out of their way to help you. [/QUOTE]
