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.

But Belinda Leach says most farmers are too busy to give evidence in spring – particularly after recent snow and also months of heavy rain.
She says discussions could take place in future, but now isn’t the time:
