A surprising number of farmers voted to leave the EU on the promise of less red tape.
. It will take a while to recoup the £250k I've lost over the years thanks to EU goal post moving and rule changing though.....I’ve never yet met a remainer who claims to know why others voted to leave. They all find it totally incomprehensible.
I voted remain.
Quiet satisfaction, or Sh!te scared that 2 countries are going to have to carry the other 25..........
that is fantastic news, I am so glad everyone is happy
3 crop rule has ended in Wales. A couple of £kk per year better off for me not producing loss making crops that no one wants
Oh well.
Farmers are generally rich, even if not in the $$ sense. If you are working 27 hours a day for nothing then pretty much nobody can save you and you are poor. I voted leave and I did it because I want my children to grow up outside of the EU. Whether that will happen remains to be seen. Maybe they will want to move to an EU country if it still exists in 10 years time. I don't know but I was asked a question and answered it. Getting financially 'rich' in farming is tough for all but the few who are either very clever, took risks at the right time or inherited a lot of stuff. Good luck to them. I make money elsewhere at the mo. I don't really think Brexit will affect much to be honest. Trade will always find a way.
Exactly, red tape isn't going anywhere. Ever since the 70s we've been promised bonfires of red tape, but they strangely never happen, and rules have kept multiplying over the years.
I voted to leave for many reasons, but the paramount one was sovereignty; Parliament and our Supreme Court should be the ultimate source and final arbiters of law in the UK, I don't want my children to grow up in a country that was only such on paper. That aside, I also think that as a nation state we will be better off socially, strategically and financially out of the EU although, obviously, the latter will take more time to affect than the other matters.
Yep, the fact is that when the UK left it the EU was losing something that added up to the economic size of nineteen of its other members, and one that subsidised, rather than was subsidised by, the others. But for some reason they don't like to talk about that...

I forget to respond to this earlier...
If that is true, what is 'Scottish Agriculture' other than a charity case?
