I. I have ¼ of a acre of land and I grow some vegetables and stuff I have been on some courses that my local gardening club run, they do have exams at the end of these so we all know what we are doing .
II. I’m part of the national association of small holders and chairman of my local club
III. I was hoping to sit down with DEFRA at the next big meeting of cereal growers so you can take advice from me and others in my group
IV. We have a policy at the moment of not importing any seeds or plants from outside the UK we believe we should produce all out own crops here in the UK , and have a programme running .A lot of our members grow nearly 30 / 40 lb of carrots and we are going to produce these and then all the growers can buy them from us and the UK can have British carrots .We are hoping to get the same policy going with the beef and milk producers we are in contact with many owners of up to 6 cows and 12 sheep and we intend to bring them along and use these as breeders to get TB free cows We in the group are not interested in the amount we grow just as long as its produced in the UK and not imported So the next time you have a consultation with the cereal growers or cattle breeders etc we would like to be invited to advise you at DEFRA on policies Many of our members have GCSEs in biology and some even have got A levels in it
YES IT SOUNDS BIZARRE BUT YOU DO IT TO THE BEE FARMERS
