A real farmer who had his hands in farming has more idea than anybody who has wasted their time with their heads in books.

Soil care and wildlife must be at the heart agriculture , with a huge emphasis on mixed diverse
Farming techniques .
Farming is not an industry , it’s too presious to be pigeon holed into the same category as steel or
Car manufacturing.
How long can we expect to overpopulate and pour endless amounts of chemicals onto the land?
The west can only eat because of this dreadful form of farming and the people should be made aware
Of the strain that is put onto the environment to produce their food .

I would like very much to join your think tank and bring my opinion and knowledge to the table.
Stuart Bull
