I welcome the announcement made by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine on the formation of a tillage forum. He has agreed to hold what will be an important meeting on Thursday, 16 February. The grain forum will afford us an opportunity to discuss what happened with the harvest in 2016 and the resultant major losses, particularly in the south and west. The establishment of a grain forum was promised by the Minister and I hope the meeting will bring the issue to a conclusion and that everyone who is aggrieved will have a positive outcome.
