Am I alone in detecting a change in editorial/producer attitudes on tonights Countryfile? There was actually a reference to farmers producing food.
Still directed at an urban audience but not nearly as poor at it was since the previous above in November.
trouble is are they equating productivity with profitability?
i could produce a lot more milk off this farm but i doubt i would make anymore money.
Statistics can tell any story, the figure was over the past 2 decades, maybe UK AG has plateaued and the others are still catching up to our level of productivity [emoji848]

Noticed that Adam was holding the bolus right in front of the IAE sticker on the crushExactly, he spent too much money on the IAE handling system, the trutest weigh scales whilst checking all the sheep have their shearwell data tags in. And that was just 3 of the stickers I saw on the equipment even though the bbc doesn’t allow product placement

Did your ancestors farm this landThe piece of land shown was drained by 1720, at that point the native bitterns were homeless. When the gravel pit was originally given planning permission nearly all the 1500 acres was meant to go back into agricultural production with just two meres in the middle. After permission was granted along came the RSPB. One of the justifications was that it was poor grade land, not that anyone local was ever aware of this !! My ancestors must have been ploughing with their eyes closed.
Hanson’s were cute with this one, give worked land to rspb and save a packet on restoration costs, plus get quarry extended by a third over original size because of bittern.

Looks like productivity according to RSPB!
Says it all really.
A) farmers should be more productive
B) farmers being productive threatens wildlife. Thus farmers should not be so productive.
