Farmers from the National Farmers Union (NFU) explained their anger at the Rural Payments Agency’s (RPA) mapping fiasco during a NFU Council meeting on Tuesday.
The National Farmers Union (NFU) President Peter Kendall has said that the Soil Association is in denial and is lying to the public following the findings of a report by the pro-organic charity.
