When will it get to the stage you will have to prove that you are a farmer and have a need to be out.

Should Slipper farmers who rent their land out and have a few sheep be allowed out?

Arable farmers who have contractor farming agreements?

If you have one sheep or 1000, you as the keeper are responsible for their welfare.
I won't go in to full details but as a supplier I was amazed to get a phone call from the RPA yesterday about a third party query on a small capital grant . War footing yeh right

But the person who owns that land are they allowed out?

technicaly I guess they are but they have no reason to go out and would be stupid to do so without need

thankfully I have no stupid landowners

We are in self isolation and daughter is collecting all "shopping" for us. She's got our holding number if asked. I have never been so prepared for lambing with still three weeks to go. I even booked the fox killer yesterday - think he was shocked - it's usually a panic measure!

Some areas already having police stops to check why they are out and about - no proof required yet but a lot of supply chain employees being given letters on company notepaper to say why their travel is essential. eg my nephew keeps sewage treatment works running, he has one.

With or without one he's in the sh1t ?

Police to carry blood pressure monitors. Alleged farmers are hooked up and told "You need to go vegan because you're murdering all the animals". A genuine farmer will put the meter straight into the red

You have an overdraft? ?

I do, not many real farmers don‘t I suspect

it goes from positive to negative through the year, it’s trading capital basically not hardcore borrowing , Even if I had spare cash the cost of money is so low I would invest any capital in places I can get far better return that cost of borrowing

I must be one of the not many then, there is an overdraft facility on the account but I have never used it

Plenty of big companies thought it was clever to use other peoples money as it was so cheap, a good few of them arent in business anymore, by the end of this lots might wish they didnt owe anything. Just hope the bank guarantee holds good if some of them go down

SBI number surely would be proof that you were a registered farming business. Plus maybe some ID to tally with the business address.

Police can tell your a farmer as when you wind down the window you can demand to be "thanked" for doing your job and then look down on people who live in a town
