As I get older I take less and less notice of anything that comes out of DEFRA.
Would you grab a couple of passing ramblers and ask their advice on how to run your farm? Anyway I digress.
I actually enjoy growing things beneath all the huffing and puffing and complaining. I don’t know whether that’s a good or bad thing. I like growing crops. It’s like having a huge garden. I think people who supply us and buy from us capitalise on this fact. They know we aren’t just doing it for the money or we would have packed up years ago. So they lean more and more on us. The only thing that will stop a lot of crop production is when the bank account runs dry but while there is enough in it to buy next years inputs we carry on however paltry the returns because 50% of it is a hobby and lifestyle and the customers and suppliers know that.
