That's what they want you to do possibly?

No point getting aerate now. Views have been expressed, the leader is about to change and likely changing minister at the same time, spring work is upon us (all grassland and rye has had fert and slurry tankers are rolling), the sun is out (or it is on the Sainted Isle) and the BPS claim goes in tomorrow….

Looks like it. They want total control. In which case they might as well nationalise the industry. They will not do that because they would have to pay a competitive hourly rate to all workers and they know that they would run billions of financial loses annually. They just want to take control while taking none of the risks and spending nothing in investments, maintenance, or putting any public investment in the job. Even their own costings for doing what they plan to do will cost the taxpayer a ludicrous 6 Billion Pounds or 9 Billion in total for the economy. Total quantifiable benefit? Why ZERO of course. They couldn’t give a shít for the rural devastation that they will cause. That is for a different department to deal with, or not.

I found this Facebook post last night. It's new Zealand based but it' still very relevant. Its long but read to the end to where it talks about article 2 b) of the Paris agreement. It says about not doing anything to mitigate climate change that could affect food security.

Link to the Paris agreement

The United Kingdom signed the Paris agreement

So what the hell are the Welsh government doing going against that part of the agreement? That needs bringing to their attention.
