THE chairman of the National Fallen Stock Company, Michael Seals, will be in the region next week to outline how the new fallen stock scheme will work when it is launched this autumn.
Mr Seals will be the main speaker at the next meeting of the NFU regional livestock commodity board meeting at The Millstones, Harrogate, on Thursday at 7.30.
As well as giving a short presentation on the main facets of the scheme, announced on May 13, he will also answer questions raised by members of the local farming community.
Also on the agenda is a presentation by Ray Keatinge, ADAS project manager, who will review how the North-East is faring in its trial of electronic ID for sheep.
Other issues up for discussion include a CAP reform update and benchmarking for livestock producers.
The meeting is open to NFU members.
