The DUP MLA also declared that Minister Muir 'wouldn't know the difference between salad and silage'
Stormont Speaker Edwin Poots has been asked to rule on whether comments made by DUP MLA Jonathan Buckley represent a "personal attack" on Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs Minister, Andrew Muir.
Speaking during a Members Statement, Jonathan Buckley accused the Minister of treating farmers "like villains" and of "environmental extremism". Later on, during a statement from the Minister on the British-Irish Council Environment Ministerial meeting, which Minister Muir attended alongside Junior Ministers Aisling Reilly and Pam Cameron, Mr Buckley accused the minister of having "zero self-awareness" of the strains facing the agricultural sector in NI.
