There is a well known saying, 'no pain, no gain' and that will be ringing true in the minds of Milk Link’s 1,600 producers, who are on the brink of reaping just reward for 12 years of loyalty and investment.NFU director steps down
THE NFU’s director of communications, Liz Falkingham, has announced her resignation from the post.
Ms Falkingham, who was editor of Farmers Guardian before she joined the NFU in 2008, will leave the role later this year.
She said she is leaving for personal reasons. She is planning to move back to Yorkshire to spend more time with her young son and to pursue other business interests in a freelance/consultancy capacity. She is also keen to use the time to pursue her passion in horses.
Confirming that Ms Falkingham is to step down, NFU acting director general Martin Haworth said: “We wish her well with her future and thank her for the hard work and commitment she has shown the organisation.”
A dairy farmer’s daughter from West Yorkshire, Ms Falkingham spent the first 13 years of her career with Farmers Guardian, becoming editor in 2003.

Good on her, the nfu has done nothing to support her and has only highlighted its own shortcomings by spending too much time bitching about her private life, which is exactly that...private. Perhaps if farmers spent less time gossiping and more time working the state of british farming would not be what it is today.

The NFU bitching? They must have learnt all they know from Ms Falkingham, who has, in open meetings, threatened to drop a colleague from an open window. I hope she's sorry now

Saw Liz on facebook this week, posting a sweeping generalisation insulting all aging overweight men as spewing offensive stuff from their mouths. (Her words as near as I can remember them). Someone complained about the over coverage of the Sky footie reporters dumb comments and Liz decided to take the opportunity to make agist and sexist comments. Came across as misandry imho.
