I am not all that satisfied with that response. It is not that anything Ms Nolan said was untrue but we have sustainable production here, grass-fed beef production etc. It is unusual at a farmers' meeting to hear people talking about data centres and aviation but they were. When it is said that "We're in it together", the question, which I do not ask Ms Nolan to answer, is "Who is this we?" Let us see who they are and what they are contributing. It is not so much that we have to tell farmers the direction we are going; it is a question of involving and bringing people with you. If that is not done, people stick their heels and all you will hear about is data centres and tax on aviation fuel. Those are legitimate concerns. There is a big issue here.
