Agreed.
Yes I do think they value it (and it's what most tourist companies sell, the "Green and pleasant land" angle) but I also agree that most don't realise it's a result of the way it's farmed and would change radically if farmed differently (or not farmed at all).
The landscape appearance "public good" is probably the most undervalued one that farmers currently provide in the UK.
I again dispute welfare standards and environmental standards I'm the first to admit we don't have to put up with all garbage rules you have to put up with in the UK but then no subsidy for the Australian farmer you want the hand out and expect it so expect the government to shove a microscope up your rectum and tell you what you can and cant do cant have it both ways guys there is no doubt you lot are good farmers back yourselves you will be fine some will be better off some wont need to adapt the EU has free trade agreements we are working on one now and have been for a while brexit is not to blameSubsidys disappearing to be replaced by some airy fairy green scheme worth fudge all, other threads on this forum about the demise of small farms & people dispersing there suckler cows that have been on the land for generations, free trade deals with countries who can produce food on a massive scale with very little environmental & welfare standards.... I could go on..... Well done to all the farmers who trusted boris & voted brexit........

Well Asstree*, it's the first necessary step of several; but you just keep carping irrelevantly from the sidelines, that's your sort, and we'll carry on.

I'll be honest with u I've always been absolutely fine adhering to the rules in exchange for the money no complaints wat so ever....!! I know which way my breads buttered & realised that we're never going to be able to farm in the same way as u guys as there's simply to many farmers on such a small area of land...... NZ & Aus are so sparsely populated it allows u to farm as u do & good on you, your doing a v good job.... I lived over in NZ & Aus for 12 months its so different to here u spray the hills & countryside with helecopters & aeroplanes in the name of efficient modern farming - jesus imagine if we did that here.........!!!!!

Free movement of people between uk and oz could see a large exodus of farmers and money down under.
They will be begging them to return once they are all gnawing on wildflowers and treebark

Some farmers were very positive on BBC news about a trade deal with Oz

Australia trade deal will not hit UK farmers, says Liz Truss
The trade secretary denies Australian beef imports will flood the UK and says export markets will grow.

sounds like a good idea to me
This. 100 times, this.
Anyone who farms where the tourists roam must make the time to email the ELMS co-design people and explain how their cattle and sheep grazing their permanent pasture is absolutely central to the local tourist economy.

This is our 15th free trade deal. Do you seriously think we will use the UK as a dumping ground for meat?? Only 2 of the export processors have been granted access back into the Chinese market since the "covid shutdown" . The rest have sold their products domestically AND made money. Good money..... Get a grip, for a nation that built its "empire" on maritime dominance and trade , you lot seem to have reverted back to hermits.

Rather eat roo than stinking venison any day.
Got to ask though, what's the best way to cook horse?? Obviously horse must either be very good ,or, UK beef is pretty s**t if jo public didnt know the difference

Good to see the UK shedding all that bothersome EU red tape post Brexit. I'm sure all those who voted for Brexit because of,"Better British animal welfare standards" are delighted
Tell us that again in twelve months time, seems any talk of quotas have now been consigned to the dustbin

It will only get exported there if money can be made. If it's more economical to sell domestically then that's where it will go. Simple. THAT'S how things work when you HAVE to farm on economics alone.
How far did you read into it though? Exports rose further to EU countries but fell to NON EU countries.

Let's give it a year or two and then if it affects our livelihoods substantially
for the worse use the miles of main road boundaries under farmer control
to campaign to remove this vermin from office .
I would happily donate to this cause and start the band wagon rolling.
It looks like the UK countryside is not valued by Boris and chums so time to be proactive
and educate the voters ourselves.

Do you want fish? Lots of “happy sovereign British fish”, available since the Eurocrats pulled a fast one on Boris.
