[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8012115, member: 86168"] the question was, can we carry on farming, with input costs rocketing there are many types of farms and farmers, with everything from high finance costs to zero. The truth of the matter, is quite simple, if you are making profits now, without a rise in product price, that profit will take a serious hit, and pro rata down the line. Now the gen public, are getting a hammering on energy prices, food inflation is on the rise, so from guv down, food prices will be held back, as far as possible. The drive for carbon neutrel, will, l expect, will slow down, especially if putin carries on, but if he stops tomorrow, Europe will need to source energy from elsewhere, in the short term, coal and oil. So will product price rise enough to cover the rising input costs ? Eventually it will have to, because everyone has to eat, and farmers cannot function for long, without profits. Perhaps the question should be, how long will it take for prices, to rise, to cover our rising costs, and nobody can answer that. [/QUOTE]
