I think the majority of us with meal bins attached to milking parlours have them bolted to the ground for safety purposes. I could mention a dozen providers of such products.

Talking to the industry, there is significant concern about how we can move it forward. The Chairman detailed the issues in the industry. There is unbelievable fear and paralysis at the moment. We do not know what we can do because we do not know what we can claim. We do not know how we can progress this industry. We have issues with climate change and with ensuring we meet our pollution control targets. The farming community does not know what is claimable and, as I said, items that could be claimed previously cannot be claimed today. That is a different interpretation.
