Best country to be a farmer ?

[bobk]

Seeing as we've some slack time , let's hypothisise , all considered my choice would be the USA , this week anyway .

The UK imo is the by far the best , BUT , only when the weather is decent which at the moment is shite and largely has been for 20 years

Where would you go , and why ?

Canada. I think the people would swing it, plus the landscape is exquisite. However I have never really been to a proper look-see.

It said farmer , what part of that didn't you understand

If Canada is so good for farming, why do so many people come back after a few years, or go into different jobs if they stay there?

Was in Canada 20 years ago, there was an article on the news about the most respected / valued professions.

#1 Fireman
#2 Nurse
#3 Farmer

Remember thinking then it would never be like that in the UK, even more so now.

Fantastic country, very polite people, would move there tomorrow but family farm situation dictates otherwise

NZ could be a good option if you don't suffer people

Russia? Aiming for global domination in all areas including agriculture. Vast areas with rich black soils. Great people out in the countryside. Fewer regulations and less hassle from idiots I'd imagine.
I think they are sufficiently capitalist nowadays not to need worry about certain historical issues involving the peasants and their land
