Average field size 4 acres surrounded by earth bank hedges that have to be trimmed fenced & maintained, not allowed by laws to remove a single metre of such, what’s your average field size?
Average field size would depend on stock numbers. You are of course being selective in the questions you ask instead of looking overall at the big picture, but hey lets play that game for now, how much are your council rates?

She's the cheese Tsar don't you know

Maybe we can get some Oz kit back here like proper Yota Utes based on the FJ or I can get the NZ only Honda XLR190 bike now (emissions dear boy it's only a one-way street of course)

All we will get are Tim Tams ... whatever the hell they are ....

How do you achieve a level playing field? Every country will have some advantages and disadvantages over others, play to your strengths.


that the point, we not playing to our strengths, we have the climate and soil to produce a lot more food that what we do, but instead we being told to "rewild", and don't use that don't use this. just so a bunch of middle class twits can drive around feeling smug about "saving the earth", in the mean time importing food from low quality land that takes massive irrigation, for from ex forest/jungle, that shipped half way round the earth so the same smug twits can have "cheap" food

No worries we can always rely on our good old NFU with Minette fighting our corner & giving them hell with her eco woolen hand bag

It's not good waiting for them, you have to get off your ars*s and do it yourselves. If Macron had pulled a stunt like that on French farmers (if its all true), they would have burnt the Élysée Palace and be parading his head up and down the Champs Elysees on a frontend loader by now.
