Australia Free Trade Deal?

[Muck Spreader]

why they going to import oz stuff to france ?
anyway is it worth bashing your head about ? though I spose if you do it enough you won't have enough sense left to care

Nothing to do with farming.
Australian beef and lamb shouldn't have a big impact on the UK market. However, it will set a massive precedence for future trade deals with the likes of the USA and Brazil, where the UK trade negotiators may have something to actually gain by sacrificing its farmers, food hygiene and welfare status.

Won’t be your problem then will it so best you concentrate on something your side of the ditch, instead of spreading your doom here.

I was just showing concern about him beating his head, perhaps he done it to much and forgot where he was

Aye, keep you head firmly in the sand and it will go away. But no French farmers to fight your corner this time.

If I thought that was the only way I could eat beef, I would become vegetarian. It's just a concentration camp for cows.

Mostly it's a 90 day finishing period. Although some stock classes may be longer. Do you not finish your beef in a shed?

We don't finish anything except cull cows.

Fortunately, as you rightly say its not my problem. But why aren't UK farmers mobilising, the government couldn't care less about farming and the opposition seem to have vanished into outer space. If you don't voice opposition to this trade deal even if it appears inconsequential, there will be no chance of blocking or limiting the really serious ones over the coming years.

How do you finish them?

Feedlot beef generally requires a very nice marinade or sauce , due to the fact it's feekin tasteless .

Dare say it’s nothing to do with you so don’t worry yourself.

Why keep on about head in the sand ?
I would think it was reasonably clear what was on the cards, see my posts before the eu ref
Just cos some folk don't shout about it on here at every opportunity don't mean they can't see whats going on

How do you know who is voicing opposition, not everything has to be shouted about on TFF

Not that article, one that Google pops up (sorry, haven't figured how to post links) mentions a NAIF Aus$24million loan.

So a loan is a subsidy now......When do you all start paying 40 years of "loans" back then

Who said anything about a subsidy? Anyway, I stand by my view that we as farmers should oppose any deal that could be a threat to our businesses in what is likely to be a tricky few years.

Personally I see a deal with aus as an opportunity not a threat so I won’t be opposing it thanks, deals work both ways.

I respect your view.

Thankyou , that’s rare on tff , I also respect your view.

I think some of the big farms in the U.K. signing contracts with super markets giving them continuity of supply week in week out are actually or biggest threat right under our nose and no one has noticed them .
