Blackpowder your views are valid and I like reading
them - makes a change from the usual mindless,
ignorant abuse thrown at the organization. I don't
know all the answers - I'm not an official with the
NFU or anything merely a member.

produced and sold by NFU members in Western

facility on the website? - I know we haven't to date,
we can sell out of $90k of meat a year off the back
of our own website and word of mouth from
existing customers. I think that is general of the
direct marketing sector just now - demand far
exceeds supply so we don't need to advertise too
aggressively.
malleefarmer, I agree with you on the apathy I think
it is about the biggest problem here. Apathy borne
of the horrible demographics of the farm population
in western Canada. A real problem for sure in most
areas.
