[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 8140912, member: 1048"] Not sure on that tbh! Certainly on the beef side i do not think many farmers will ( and that is already being seen both in sucklers and some large scale finishers not replacing cattle as they sell prime cattle. On the sheep, no end of people are talking about either cutting ewe numbers or stopping lambing altogether as the returns due not warrant all the hard work/hassle of lambing sheep and that is both early and late lambing flocks. Dairy farmers are quitting faster than the auctioneers can sell the cows, two more herds near to me are going this week, another has said his herd is going as soon as he gets a clear TB test, another has said he is thinking of quitting ( which means he will for sure as once you start thinking like that they always quit ) . And in previous years there has always been a lot of young go getter young farmers keen to start farming but these people seem to have gone very quiet lately and few seem that intrested in starting farming !
