George Eustace replied in the HoC that we are experiencing a "boom period" in British farming. Is he right?
Are we farming through a "boom period"?

Then perhaps he could explain why so many dairy farmers are planning to quit the industry in the next few years….

Almost a quarter of dairy farmers plan to stop or are considering ceasing milk production in the next two years, a new study by the NFU has revealed.

He spouted the same line at Devon County Show last week.
Do you think he realises he's not only embarrassing himself and his government when he makes absurd claims like this, but it also makes it worryingly obvious to all that he has no real understanding of the industry?
Or he genuinely thinks we're all fools?!

As a pig farmer going through the worst period that I have ever experienced, despite record high prices, Eustace is of course speaking total ballcocks. I would be more than happy to be proved wrong later this year

Another Tory embarrassing himself.
Not certain that Brexit has helped overmuch, only brought about more uncertainty going forward.
Rumour mill had it that he was shortly for the chop.
Who would farmers want at the helm?

As I was listening to that my mind drifted to pig and poultry farmers immediately. I’m lost for words.As a pig farmer going through the worst period that I have ever experienced, despite record high prices, Eustace is of course speaking total ballcocks.

I nominate the same lump of lard that replaced Roy Hattersley on HIGNFY all them years ago. Bit of quality pig fat would be a refreshing change (and might actually support the British pig industry).

Why the hell would you invite the idiot there in the first place?? Don't tell me, NFU invited him???
They usually tend to invite themselves.

I've said before I think Simon Hoare MP would be a good man to represent UK Ag.

Hes now joint second with that cuningham bloke for the most inept ag minister mind hes catching up to the mega bitch margaret beckett at no 1.
Erm for ag minister from the tories.....not a clue. Labour Nick Brown but i think hes retired, Libs err Tim Farron seems to back us. To be honest Sponge Bob Square Pants or Bazil Brush would probably do a better job.

I got £180 / ton last year. Looks like the £300 highs will be long gone by harvest this year.
So..............no boom here.
