The Times reported in July 2021:
Another report by The Times in May 2021 has led to the threat of legal action by Angus MacDonald, boss of Whiteshore Cockles.

That was cheaper than paying to get it ensiled (treated with formic acid). It’s believed that the Minister recently flipped her lid, maybe @MairiGougeon or @MairiMcAllan will comment if we ask them nicely.
