HUNDREDS of people visited Saumarez Park yesterday for the Royal Guernsey Horticultural and Agricultural Society’s annual show.

FARMERS say it is vital that the States starts thinking about building a new slaughterhouse.

BACK in 1984, Wendy’s burger chain in the United States launched a TV ad campaign to promote the size of its filling compared with rivals. It derided a competitor’s ‘home of the big bun’ product by getting a little old lady to poke it and demand: where’s the beef?

THE States are spending nearly £200,000 a year incinerating cattle that could be eaten locally.

GUERNSEY could consume or export all of its beef – but not without a new slaughterhouse.

BURNING Guernsey’s unwanted cattle is a scandalous waste of food, according to the UK director of the Soil Association.

CONFIDENCE in farming is the highest it has been for several years, an industry leader said yesterday.
