President of the Manx National Farmers Union Howard Quayle says on the whole he's happy with how the first year of the Countryside Care Scheme has progressed.

Speaking on Manx Radio today, Mr Quayle said he was unhappy the industry had its business development fund cut by the government just a few months into the new scheme:
