"I'm delighted to be able to continue the important work that the crops board has been conducting on behalf of members. Much of this work continues over long periods before satifactory conclusions can be achieved. The board is benfitting from the experience and continuity existing board members bring. And together, with the new members, who bring fresh ideas and perspectives, we are committed to delivering for the arable membership.
"The board's priorities are to work on the regulatory environment in a way that does not compromise the technical efficiency of prodcuers or place the sector at a comparative diasdvatange to its competitors on the domestic and world market. In addition, in the current markets, the board will focus on policies that can deliver a positive influence to the bottom line profit for members."

"We're entering an interesting period within Europe with increased regulation and constraints on the arable sector. I'm very pleased to be able to continue our work and hope to see some fruitful conclusions in the future."
