The general secretary of the Manx National Farmers’ Union says she’d question whether now is the ideal time for a Tynwald investigation into agriculture.

She says discussions could take place in future, but now isn’t the time:
Minimum wage increase 'dreadful' for business owners
Road to close for 'very large' elm tree to be felled
Peel RNLI renews appeal for new Lifeboat Press Officer
New podcast aims to open up conversations around sobriety
