I chair the CAAV council and sit on the executive committee, leading our membership in their Keeping our members up to date with policy and regulatory changes; liaising with governments, industry bodies and clients to promote our #trustedadviser campaign; and working on the practical effects of evolving rural policies. During my first week at work, I met a dairy farmer. As I approached, he climbed off his tractor and hit the dump valve. The scraper hit the slurry with the inevitable consequences. I have never worn a suit on a farm since.
