NEW MINS

Stalker  was remiss not to mention the arrival of the new minister for agriculture in the North Mr Edwin Poots MLA.

No doubt he will be a great asset to the ag scene in Northern Ireland.

Meanwhile in the South, the old minister of agriculture Michael Creed, retains his post until a new government is formed - which might take some time.

Basically though, it's all change on the agricultural ministerial front. New blood, new ideas, new impetus, or so it is hoped.
