A trade deal with the usa will be a disaster for uk farms. Selling American beef and wheat to the uk will be a priority i would of thought. UK farms can only compete by cutting corners on the environment and welfare. This may suit some uk farms but I'm proud of the standards in the uk as some of the highest in the world.
One good thing is the deal will actually be done in stages on a deal by deal basis and the ag one is going to be one of the last to be done and a long time from now according to experts. Boris's right hand man (cummings) is from farming stock which fills me with confidence that uk ag will be safe under boris
And the EU have looked after farming ...... ffs we're on our own , get on with it . or get out .
Do you not find it mildly amusing that the right hand man of the Spaffmeister is Cummings?
Forsooth, it is better to be the 51st state , than a backwater of the Forth Reich.
According to the yellow peril, UK barley at £120/ ton is the lowest price barley on the entire planet. And this under the protection of the awesome EU.......
No not really, i just found it encouraging that a farmers son from county durham had made it to PM's enforcer. Durham folk are a tough no nonsense breed.

And we have to dry it .....
I suppose project fear will have us believe the Klingons will export it from Praxis at £110 / ton......And we have to dry it .....

What do you mean we're on our own. You would rather no trade deals at all? Shall we just go full North Korea and close ourselves off from the world entirely?
Pretty fooking close in June.......Fraid not.
US price in £
Edit, wasn't UK barley £116 / ton last week ?
Time will tell, as with brexit, boris and trump theres always extreme views from all sides but the truth will be somewhere in the middle

When discussing or negotiating trade deals with the USA one needs to remember Trump's promises to his electorate. America first, America last and everything in between - that doesn't leave much space for us does it?
