As Ukraine appears
to teeter on the brink of civil war and uncertainty it’s worth noting that this month alone the
following announcements and changes to agricultural related legislation and
policy have been made.
I'm no expert and I have yet to study the detail but on the face of it they all seem positive, sensible and for the general good.
I get the
impression there are lot of people working away in the background trying to effect
real change for the nation; may be this is what the revolution was really all about.
