Farmers will always be able to eatWell I’m in the prime of my life , I should be excited to farm, to take things on it’s not a big set up but it’s manageable but for the last year I wake up EVERY night around 3am wondering Why bother why put my neck on the line for everything all the greif and stresss ,,,, lots of stress everyone wanting to tell you all the things you should be doing all the time ( like I’m some idiot ) no, graze like this, feed ewes like that ? Vets plan , soil samples , on an on and on all with associated cost that no one talks about We have diversications and tbh it’s chalk n cheese money wise but WHAT ARE WE ALL GOING TO EAT??
Farmers have the means and the knowledge to grow their own food
I think it’ll be the rest of the population who will have a problem in the future

Orchard full of apples plums black currants rhubarb etc
Cow or goat to milk
