[QUOTE="farmbrew, post: 7925421, member: 154705"] I do need the subsidies under the current system, however, the current system is taken advantage of by landlords, chemical and fert suppliers etc. We have all become too reliant on them. I believe if prices remain firm (fingers crossed) I can farm without. I don't have fancy machinery, don't employ anybody else, have no borrowings or loans. I don't know how long I could carry on for with by low cost system, need my old bones to keep going as well. More land taken out of production, growing population, climate change etc, the UK is in a good position to grow food on a low cost basis. It is a disgrace though that the government don't back home grown producers and manufactures. I could be accused of being too optimistic, or short sighted. But we can't carry on as we are. Especially under big government that we have thee days. There is a sea change in peoples attitudes its a shame the government haven't picked up on it yet. The pending food shortage will keep prices high but could spark civil unrest, Government will topple. Discuss wtf do I know anyway:ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
