[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 9155320, member: 8735"] Message = if you want secure food supplies the producers need to be able to make a living doing it, a fair living. Look at the BS of RT, it is unnecessary and costs money; look at the ludicrous demands the supermarkets often make; and some mark-ups too. Explain why when inputs rise prices of produce shouldn't... We could add, if a poke at the 'green' lobby is required... You don't like British farmers? Alright, show us the country you think is great, that doesn't do what we do, produces more and better food at a better price and can get it to UK consumers with less pollution. But this is all irrelevant without a national organisation that will take the argument / fight to the media and those that do down UK ag'. Where is such a national organisation? It shouldn't be waiting for a call from some MSM hack, it should be right in the face of Ministers (+ opposition wannabes) and of the media. It should not be 'discussing' the matter, or 'putting the case for...', it should be absolutely tearing apart the rubbish espoused against UK ag', But that doesn't happen. Anyone [I]leading[/I] a farming organisation and acting as an advocate needs to be able to do more than just put our side of things, he needs to be able to eviscerate the opposition with hard fact. And that's the truth of it, but don't hold your breaths gents, don't hold your breaths... [/QUOTE]
