  1. Grass And Grain

    Is there any way we can farm in the UK without subsidies?

    Copied from the BFU thread which is running about writing a letter to Rishi Sunak... I was thinking about imports undermining our standards and prices. It doesn't even need imports to meet our standards. What I mean is, they don't need to be imports. Take Ukrainian grain. Doesn't necessarily...

    Is it too early to cut silage with black grass in it?

    If bg is cut now will it set viable seed in second cut?

    Would you?

    Purely hypothetical question at this stage but the way things are heading goodness knows when it may become a reality. So leaving the practicalities of enforcement to the side, could you be "bought out" of farming if the stipulation was that you would never farm again in any way shape or form...
