Having spent the last two days attending the English NFU conference in Birmingham, I find myself on the plane back to Edinburgh. The conference had a real political bent, and with a UK general election only weeks away, the politicians were eager to impress.
As so often happens in England and Wales, the TB issue dominated much of the session. With Mr. Benn still set against a badger cull, Wales engaging a trial cull and tens of thousands of cattle being slaughtered every year, the atmosphere was tense to say the least.
