While I agree, at the last election there was no strong candidate it was a case of the lesser of 2 evils. I voted blue thinking he might be a breath of fresh air. Now I do regret it and wish I’d voted the other way as much as I disliked some of his stances. Boris seems too have an extreme tunnel vision and everything outside that tunnel gets ignored. It scares me genuinely. It’s alright for a pressure group too behave in that way, but not a political leader!
A lot of organic farms are well ahead using Clovers etc for nitrogen, someone I know is currently on 5th cut, organic in a BIG way, RC higher than the mowers
Fair enough covid hasn't been an easy ride for any government but Boris was the bell end that told everyone we'd be 350 million a week better off
The Brexit fiasco is the f`ing idiot`s own fault - he promised all sorts of sh*te and people fell for it . He doesn`t want to deal with our nearest neighbours (Europe) he`d rather deal with the likes of Australia ( several thousand food miles away and with lower standards and costs than us!), AND he seems to have little interest in helping British food production and British farmers and you feel sorry for the lying ,shallow,clueless pr*ck.....
How do the organic lads go about managing docks?A lot of organic farms are well ahead using Clovers etc for nitrogen, someone I know is currently on 5th cut, organic in a BIG way, RC higher than the mowers
Sheep, topping, reseeding, digging by hand, fluroxypur
Glad I took my barren cows last week then!
and the other choice ? A Marxist 70s throwback ! politics of envy , anyone with a successful business soaked to pay the sink estate dole money , I think farming would have been in a far worse place 10 years on . You would think the Labour party learnt something through the Blair years on how to be electable
There is no right answer. We are now in a situation not seen since the war, beyond nearly everyone’s lifetime. What is needed is a leader with enough spine to follow through on his decisions, without self interest in accolades and future earnings, someone who has real experience in running big business without the corporate greed. Unfortunately nobody like that has been born since the 1800’s so we are screwed
40 p! that sounds alot.
sooner government wash its hands with farming the better farming will be but that won’t happen government will not react to anything very quick they are always late to the party , mean while things are better today than have been for decades so it ain’t all bad .
AHDB quotes work on...
Bloody hell! That's a fair old drop! I don't think I saw anything under a £ last week from the bit I saw!
unless they continue to drop...
Climate change a big factor as well. They seem to think that relying on Australia for food imports is a good idea. From what I've seen and heard, it wouldn't surprise me if Australia became largely uninhabitable and useless for food production due to droughts, wildfires etc. It is possible to produce our own food without trashing our own environment but they seem to to think the two are mutually exclusive.
