[QUOTE="7610 super q, post: 7434789, member: 6448"] I think you had it right first time. When I started in the mid 80's there were about 40 farms in West Wales growing organic carrots on a small scale ( 10-20 acres each), nice little income with about half a dozen locals employed on each farm......quite often the carrots were hand forked out, less said about that the better. Perhaps 1, maybe 2 growers left. The job seems to be in the hands of large scale growers growing 1000's of acres, with a thousand acres of organic carrots on the side. Now the large scale growers are getting the push. Where next ? Import the lot from Poland and be done with it ? [/QUOTE]
