Why would any country ( be that an EU or non EU country ) want remoiners like cowbunga etc settling there when they are so negative/ down about anything and everything??

Fine for an arable farm. I'm not growing many crops on a hill farm on the edge of the Berwyn mountains in Wales. I produce lamb, the market is growing in america, it already exists in the EU.

Prices are very far from being on the floor. Milk price has 25p or more before it reaches the floor and sheep could well halve in value. Beef may well lose 30% or more of its current value.
Those would be 'the floor'. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. In the immediate aftermath it certainly will not and might even rise. Temporarily.
We will probably soon see. Best of luck. You are going to need it. We are going to need it.

yes and supermarket pressure has held the lamb price back to what it was in 1980 , as they factor our sub into the price that they pay ( manipulate , i was getting £90 - 100 when i started on this farm ) 40 years of escalating costs and no extra income , every time you think lamb prices start moving in the right direction like last year , boat loads are booked for next season to get prices back to where they were , yet tesco is sitting on wealth most business only dreams of . some should be shared down the supply chain . Just who has benefited being in the EU ? certainly not livestock farms , there is hardly any left . plumbers / electricians on £50 an hour thats a whole store lamb AN HOUR !
We need to move away from sub and find new markets or ways of marketing (we are denied this being a member of the club) australian lamb is selling at record prices down under as they tap into china and usa markets , long term more volatility maybe but better than stuck in the marketing doldrums we have been in all my working life , and yet another year of break even .

UK must accept US food standards in trade deal, says farm chief
Fears over practices like chlorine-washing chicken are unfounded, says the head of America's farm lobby.
www.bbc.co.uk
"UK must accept American food standards for any trade deal" and must accept cheaper American food.
If we do so, the EU will undoubtedly impose tariffs it now imposes on the USA on us, which has massive implications not only for UK agriculture but for the Irish border and the Good Friday Agreement, which will itself stop the American trade agreement from being ratified over there. So on and on and deeper into the rabbit hole we sink.

Who was to blame when milk price dropped to 15 p .
Lot of talk about the milk price dropping atm , it's already dropped 2 p due to the amount of milk being produced from all this grass about

Folk don't seem to get the fact that it's not that the Americans use Chlorine washing. It's that they have no alternative to due to low and often non existent hygiene and welfare standards.

Errr.
Paracetic acid.
You know the stuff.
Its what dairy farmers use in copious quantities to inhibit the spread of mastitis between cows. Milking parlours and equipment up and down the land awash with the stuff.

I imagine that when the American tourists visit the UK and France, they are struck by how down-at-heal, grubby and unwashed we are.
But being Americans, they are too good-natured and polite to complain. And as for our (the UK's) coffee and beef steaks............

Large parts of the US are the same, only poorer. Where else do you think Trump recruits his foot soldiers.

From what I can see, DWt cattle in the US are around £2.50/kg, and they claim to have a much superior tasting product to ours.
Does anyone on here feel like sharing their plan for how they are going compete with that?

So all the Republicans in the US are the same as us, only poorer.

Your bull price is similar to ours.
Your lamb price is something like £35 head more than we are getting currently!
