Farmers demanded the MMB be broken up saying that competition would bring efficientcies and better milk prices how wrong they were.
Next farmers were eager to sign up to crop assurance when it was first started, they thought it would lead to better prices and if not then they could drop out. Except the trade soon made all crops assured.
Now i see that 2/3 of farmers want out out of EU Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
The last 40 years have been the most profitable farmers have had ,with it be by intervention guarantying prices or Direct payments and subsidy.
I hear that farmers who want out of the EU are saying subsidies keep inefficient farmers going and if those inefficient farmers could be forced out of business then it would free up land for them to then take on to farm Dooh.
I class myself as a large efficient business but there is no way i want to get larger at those less fortunate than myself. expense.
The British government is not going pay equal amounts to farmers that the EU does, whether it is conservative or labour.
We should all thank the french with their burning a tyre in the street attitude to getting farm support.
Iam voting in and all farmers should think very carefully before casting us all adrift without a life boat.
Rant over and breathe.
Aye farming is doing really well at the moment
Farmers that vote to stay in are about as foolish as they come!
