[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6523660, member: 2119"] I find the whole approach very presumptious and patronising. "Farming is changing." Well actually it's still in private hands here and I'll change it if I decide to change it and I'm not really interested in what others think they want me to do, looking in as uninformed amateurs from the outside. It's pretty simple at moment other than for the unwanted interference we already have to put up with. We grow crops and livestock and people buy them, just like they've done for hundreds of years. I can't see a good reason for changing that. I often think if DEFRA disappeared overnight, would anybody really notice other than the payment cheque wouldn't turn up and it noise and bumf would finish. How much does it take to write a cheque once a year. Not a lot but they don't half make a meal out of it. So yet again we see the bureaucratic dinosaur trying to postpone extinction by creating yet another bright new future for itself. [/QUOTE]
