The EU very existence was, and is all about supporting farmers and UK farmers have done very well out of it over the years. I very much doubt that post Brexit any UK government will be especially interested in the long term future of farming beyond it's recreational and environmental value. You only have to see the comments that come from various politicians of any party to see that. The shape of UK agriculture will be very different in 10 years time and words that spring to mind IMO are niche product, high quality, local and part-time.Utter Rubbish!
Fed up with being screwed (especially within farming) by the EU and wanting to take back control, more likely.
We need a better system and remaining within the EU will never provide us with it.
What is wrong with us wanting to feed our own Nation?
Obviously we realise that our leaving is not what you in ROI would like and must also admit to feeling sorry for you.
But as far as most of us farmers in the UK are concerned, bring it on!
No amount of ridicule by those of you still within it will make us change our minds. It is going to happen and anybody with any sense will see the opportunities and grab them.
