		<description><![CDATA[Just spotted this piece from Farmers Guardian flagging up a new round of funding from the Welsh Assembly Government for organic conversion.

But the latest figures from the statisticians at Defra show stability and small progress in organics, rather than stagnation or decline.

I know that sounds like blowing our own trumpet, but it wasn&#8217;t the success it turned out to be purely because of the organisation.
