I get that but at least it's in the back of people's minds about the rising costs in agriculture & the effect its having on food prices......Hardly a typical Farm - Organic - its own milk round employing 20 people.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT HAVING TO DIVERSIFY TO SUBSIDISE FARMING ISN’T ACCEPTABLE!
I was listening to the chap talk and thought exactly the same thing when he mentioned a possible caravan park. I did laugh when the lass asked whether it made sense for farmers to continue farming. The chap took a deep breath at that oneHardly a typical Farm - Organic - its own milk round employing 20 people.

This isn’t our problem.BBC breakfast this morning highlighting the soaring costs of ag inflation having an effect on food production.... WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO TELL THEM ABOUT ELMS.....? A POLICY TO TAKE LAND OUT OF FOOD PRODUCTION HOWEVER THEY TRY TO SPIN IT UP.....
Very true I hope those pratts including eustice will have there answers ready when the chickens come home to roost.....This isn’t our problem.
Less land in food production should push up our prices. I’m in farming to make money first, not provide the population with cheap food. Biofuels, flowers, trees, solar farms, rewilding I don’t mind any of it I will produce whatever pays the best whether that’s a commodity crop or a flower.
Policy is decided by the elected officials, civil servants, and the influence of pressure groups - they should be held accountable for these decisions
Less land won't push up prices necessarily, it just means that buyers have more contacts abroad and can import quicker and more easily.This isn’t our problem.

Absolutely nothing fish live in water.What has elms got to do with the price of fish?
Eustice was at Devon County Show this weekend peddling the line that fam incomes were rising due to the rising farm gate prices again. The interviewer did suggest that he was living in a parallel universe but, nope, farmers are all doing terribly well at the moment don't you know!Very true I hope those pratts including eustice will have there answers ready when the chickens come home to roost.....

The coal miners thought we couldn't live without a coal industry, they were wrong. The steel workers thought we could never live without a steel industry, they were wrong. The shipbuilders thought the Clyde would always be the world centre for ship building, they were wrong.This isn’t our problem.

except the world if not running short of food, has supply issues such that areas are short of food or will be soon, and government seems to have forgotten that everyone wants to eat. But no need to worry George Eustace is on the case, high fertliser prices, use cow muck instead, the only thing I can't work out, is where the cow muck is going to come from when Carries and Goldsmith brothers get their way and all the grassland in the UK is turned over to rewilding!The coal miners thought we couldn't live without a coal industry, they were wrong.

It's complacent to assume that any industry will always just be there because its existed for a long time, and that the loss of a neighbour automatically means less competition and higher prices for you. Look at the the pig and poultry job and the direction of travel in dairy. If you think the same can't or won't happen to arable, beef, sheep you're dreaming.
