Well chose the right ones because my one neighbour has recently
bought two farms out of beef and a cousin of mine has more buildings
than the local industrial park.
With the exception of pigs, broilers and eggs I’m pretty sure every farmer works for probably….

They didnt tell you about the acre of developement land they sold around the back.
If they're just coming for a bit of a 'sook and a whinge' then they're better off where they are.
I deleted the last line from my previous post to avoid adding fuel to the fire, but maybe it's warranted if 'horn' thinks they can blame 'corn' for the current situation:
"The price is the price, if the numbers don't add up then it's your call, but enough with the passive aggressive finger pointing".

Why should arable farmers subsidise unsustainably low price of meat in the shops? While folks can fill up with fuel and drive to the continent, why can’t they afford a chicken at a tenner? It’s still good value and cheap as chips.
You are not alone.
Thoroughly fed up of feeding cattle twice a day every day of the year for a rubbish price that they seem intent on adding deductions for this and that on top.
Much better selling grain at 300 than it is feeding it to bullocks, problem is its not a tap you can just turn off!
@Clive 50p milk is all fine and dandy but I don't milk cows!
Where do you think all the investment money is being spent on livestock farms?

One had a small amount the other none ,
both would have spent several million each.
They are however on very large scale finishing not
your average Joe but low grain prices have certainly helped.
Now you have done it, the tattie boys will be on here saying cheap chips can't afford the rent!!
Agree.
Why isn't beef more?
Because when a Bullock is ready, its ready. You can't keep it for a year waiting for prices to rise.
This is the consumers problem not farmers - food is way to cheap and an adjustment is needed
ALL livestock product price need to rise (and are doing it seems now) to cover the increase in your input prices ........ jt's as grain prices need to rise (as they have) to cover arable farmers increased input prices
Grain is not too expensive, food is too cheap
NO ONE should subsidies anyone - the CONSUMER should pay a sustainable price
Govt policy worldwide is cheap food ,
if you cant make a profit then don't restock until you can - supply and demand ALWAYS align eventually
I will not grow wheat unless I can see a profit worth the risk and capital

Cheap food, cheap aviation fuel, bread and circuses and to hell with the environment. That’s the reality.
I wish them all the luck in the world growing it without farmers
It's why they subsidise production
Oh yes, you're all about the 'bantz', and stirring the shite...There is some good banter on that thread and a fair bit of humourYou could do with it on here.
Hold your hats, chippy livestock farmers incoming, C/o @jendan
