[QUOTE="chickens and wheat, post: 2690832, member: 1900"] Maybe the necessary belt tightening and efffiency maximising will lead to a better agri system in the UK, but I fear this will see the end of the family farm, replaced by large scale share farmers/co-operatives But are these large scale business really more efficient? Nobody knows or loves his land more than a tenant farmer already eeking out his maximum from the land by knowing its variabilies, but commonly not able to maximise on machine/input costs due to the farm not been big enough. We have half tried working together via machinery rings/co-operating with neighbours etc, but as expected its never quite so simple. Id like to build a new chicken shed but the future is too uncertain for me to go borrowing heavily at present, its only 6 months since I bought half the farm from the landlord and I am surrendering from the rest after harvest If the brexit vote had happened last year it would have been at about the time when I was awaiting a reply to my bid from the landlord , and news from the bank re funding the purchase, scarey enough as it was [/QUOTE]
