most won’t even notice truth be told and they won’t care what the reasons are. Some rubbish will get printed in the daily mail, the government will get shouted at and they’ll throw a few free school meals in. Job done.

All looks rosy at No.10....
Lets be honest, few if any of the present Conservative party has experience of business or actual work... and I imagine the Opposition is little better.
As Farmers, we bemoan the lack of understanding form Urban man of teh countryside, but it is probably more of a worry on a national scale to have politicians with such little understanding of what generates money in this Country!

I can't see that happening. I wouldn't be surprised if some back office deal to sub the price of gas happens though (and maybe a cut to Climate Change Levy at the same time) to get it up and running again.
Part of the issue with CF’s closure is the lack of ammonia production for (get this) flu scrubbing in power stations. To make power stations ‘green’ they require a lot of ammonia to be injected into the furnace exhaust; so it’s not just farmers who are responsible for CF’s carbon footprint…
According to the media’s magic ‘green agenda’, they must be expecting farmers to learn alchemy, to be able to make something of high value (food for the nation) out of no more than soil and thin air.
I don’t trust CF fertilisers one bit. They run down Urea and lobby government to get it banned based on some flawed old adas experiments, with the support of some well known ‘independant’ agrononists. They are also involved with the rb209, I guess the autumn manure ban will suit them very well.
They should be investigated by the monopolies and markets authority. The NFU should be looking into all this but they won’t because CF are a big sponsor of their AGM.

On the news a spokesman for the food and drink industry was suggesting the government should subsidise the cost of gas to businesses such as CF to enable them to start producing fert again as they are desperate for co2.
If they do its a win, win for CF, and they'll be laughing all the way to the bank!

Always look on the bright side of life................no fertilizer equals less food produced, which means it will rocket in price and farmers will be everyones best friend.
