NSA Marches Region AGM 2014 and Sheep Night
Date: 13th November 2014
NSA Marches Region held its eighth AGM on Thursday 13th November at the Sheep Centre in Malvern.
Angela Weston stood down as Treasurer/Secretary of the region at the meeting and Dy Webb has replaced her.
The AGM was followed by a sheep night where Chris Lloyd of Eblex gave a very interesting presentation on the opening market opportunities in China, following his recent trip to the country with NSA Chief Executive Phil Stocker. Chris's talk was followed by Ian Cairnes from the Farm Advice Service, who outlined the dos and don’ts of sheep movement recording and cross compliance.
This subject stimulated much discussion of legal requirements and how the rules would change come 1st January. One of the conclusions from the discussion was that keeping correct records after 1st January will certainly be easier with an EID reader, as more individual tags will need to be recorded.
A full report will follow shortly.
