Watch the meeting debrief with NFU Livestock Board Chair David Barton and NFU Livestock Board Vice-chair Clare Wise.
As ever, it was a busy Board meeting with the elected regional Chairs and Board appointees, as well as national appointees coming together to discuss the current position in the livestock industry.
Concerns continue to be expressed about past trade deals and, as always, the Board continue to keep a watching-brief on these.
The Board also discussed biosecurity issues. They looked at learning points from Denmark, showing how the industry needs to lead and own work on biosecurity with the government and how an industry-led solution can drive towards the eradication of sheep scab.
