Head of NFU Scotland illustrating repeatedly how he wants to keep Scottish food production in the dark ages.. the last 50 years are our land use dark ages … spouting greenwash words but then banging on about dredging for so long .. he wants to go “back” 30 years aho repeatedly.. rip the bed of our rivers instead of learning how to renaturalise water courses to slow and mitigating the unpredictable water. .. neither neglect nor dredging.
He likes a “tidy” farm, loves shooting estate management, waffles green words without a clue what they mean.
Bemoaning seed being washed off land . Then stop ploughing ..
So much mis information in so much .. we use the same chemicals, we can grow veg oon far more than 8% of our land,
His farm is set grazed and grain fed.
Rants on social media about beavers
65% of our Scottish barley production goes to the drinks industry.. much for export
25% of wheat is the same.
So much more Pork and poultry can be produced locally if we have local processing facilities ..lost so many.
EU are doing more than UK .. false information
He is anti environment and pro raising production rather than a holistic approach.
Has zero clue about how hydrology works. The best is deep sward, and min till.
Wants GM food
Does understand future rural communities.. head is in the past .. no clue
Disgusted … he doesn’t represent our future farming .. and he has direct line to our government : dangerous
