Guy is an abundance of experience, why is this man not teaching the agricultural industry how change will benefit them and the country.🤙

Or minister for agriculture!

[@jamesjahmoolahutmorrison4104]

Was my initial thought, but our Governments never actually put experienced Ministers in the right jobs. It’s like me going for a Rocket Scientist job and getting it. I have no experience and to be fare I’m quite sure all of our Ministers don’t have any experience for any job in Government 😉

@@jamesjahmoolahutmorrison4104Yes that's true, maybe we should try and convince Guy to form his own party and run, a competent, successful man with a bundle of common sense: I'd vote for him in a heartbeat!

Love this video: What species of Cardoon is it that you're growing?

[@gillenzfluff8380]

Plant some white or sweet clover.

When I saw him standing in a field of cardoons while talking about monoculture, I felt something wasn't quite right...this video felt a bit like a politician talking.
