Farmers on the Isle of Man are not being listened to at a time when the industry is facing a "huge crisis".
That's the accusation from the Manx National Farmers Union which has launched a blistering attack on the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture:
The outburst comes after a consultation was launched to look at integrating farming and fisheries grant schemes - Minister Richard Ronan has been accused of "destroying" Manx agriculture.
Brian Brumby is the president of the MNFU - he says the department needs to realise it delivers much more than just "niche food products":
