Farming and rural action manifesto


I was lucky enough to get asked to go to Newcastle and listen in to the meeting of a large number of farmers, and key players in the rural community. We discussed at length CAP reform, Single Farm Payments, deregulation and rural housing amongst many issues over a 4 hour period. We discussed localism and its effects in many forms. Came away having learnt a lot.
Our farming and rural action manifesto is set out by Nick Herbert MP below http://www.conservatives.com/News/News_stories/2010/02/A_New_Age_of_Agriculture.aspx
