[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 5909476, member: 166"] I agree with this, though most arable & grazing farms are more dependent on BPS than pigs, poultry, root crops & veg. A bad trade deal would be the very worst thing for UK Ag. Zero tariffs on imports but full tariffs on exports is the worst case scenario. The end of BPS will be that last straw for many but I agree with [USER=72]@Tim W[/USER] - a new breed of entrepreneurial farmer will succeed. The government don't explicitly want to let UK Ag fall, they will just leave the market to sort out who survives and who does not. [USER=615]@DrDunc[/USER] 's example of the mines and manufacturing isn't a bad one but it does not allow for the way the countryside looks that is still important to the taxpayer, hence all the guff in the Agriculture Bill about pollution, wildlife habitat, ecosystems. Everything except farming other than how they will raise costs (oops sorry) [I]standards[/I] of UK produce... [/QUOTE]
