[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 8138490, member: 51054"] what is best for the individual, is not always what is best for society, and that is where government has a role, in making things best for the individual. I will give a fictitious example, I farm in the hills above a large conurbation. It is in my interests to drain my fields and clean my ditches, this gets rid of excess water from my fields quickly, however this causes flooding downstream, therefore, I should be paid to not clean my ditches for the greater good of society. Individual business decision don't spent too much on fertliser. Government should recognise that is not good for society, so should tip the balance so farmers do continue to produce. The first step in that, is for Government to recognise that there is a looming crisis, and this is were Clarkson's articles are great. [/QUOTE]
