    New Caption competition (closed): Mariann Fischer Boel on visit to Scotland

    EU farm commissioner has visited a farm in Scotland to talk about Less Favoured Area status. Here's a picture from that event which is begging for a caption. The usual £20 prize is on offer for the winning entry. Over to you!

    Thank you for the kind greeting Isobel.

    This is in fact a photo from the Apprentice. This is in fact poor Margaret burying her head in the hay, a new task just set by Sur Ulan. You can see the problem apprentice  standing behind her.

    Farming is for us, all.

    I think the man with the blue tie who has been following me is one of those less favoured farmers.
