[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 3125892, member: 1048"] Nothing to be confused about! The NFU stated after the consultation they carried out that they wouldn't be announcing the NFU policy about future farm subs/ direction etc etc until FEB 2017 ( at the NFU conference I assume) and Minette Batters has now come out 3 months before this and said she believes they should go in their current format and farmers need to start earning their keep etc etc so now she has totally undermined the launch in FEB and what the Official NFU policy is going to be the NFU imo now have NO choice but to bring that launch forward and make the NFU view point/ future policy clear to thousands of their members who clearly are worried about life post Brexit. Don't forget that Minette Batters will have been paid several hundred pounds for that interview in the times yesterday! Also its very ironic that she states that farmers need to shape up and start earning their keep when she sits on several boards like the RT company for example who's proposals for new rules post 2017 for the RT scheme will costs farmers hundreds of extra pounds to comply with! ie on one hand we are trying to cut costs like she suggests we do so and then on the other hand she is happily supporting extra costs in other areas of our businesses. Also the most valid point is that her job at the NFU is to stand up and fight for her farmer members yet that interview yesterday sounds more like its come from a spokeswoman of the National Trust/ RSPB etc, just WHO is she actually working for?! Oh and just for balance I think the only NFU top team member who has done their job correctly over the whole Brexit issue is Guy Smith. [/QUOTE]
