Eu to propose to use 500 million Euro emergency fund to help farmers

[glasshouse]

I know it’s extra but 500 million is not 500 billion as per threat title.

I am sure the bloomberg screen said 500 billion
I didnt do the link

er...................the EU have always backed farming!

Backed cheap food

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

It works out at roughly £2.50/ha for each EU production hectare.

So £1 per acre, what will that cover ?

So £1 per acre, what will that cover ?

0.4 kg of urea

Well it'll help cover the diesel to spread the fertilizer

It probably did, they arent exactly known for the quality of their output.

500 billion is insane amounts of money. The whole CAP is worth 63 billion. 500 million is fairly meaningless

I should have taken a photo of the tv article which was down the side on bloomberg.

EU to Propose Using 500-Million-Euro Crisis Fund for Farmers

The European Union will for the first time tap an agricultural crisis fund to cushion the impact of the ongoing war in Ukraine on food producers facing high energy prices and shortages of some key products.

Can't say I'm that jealous tbh.

Our Top Team probably read that report as “The EU will be producing lots of yummy food which they will then sell to us, so let’s buy any saplings and wild bird mix seed they don’t want.”

Yup our leaders and influencers would re wild loads of land and then import more of the food we don’t produce. Joined up thinking has “gone for a walk”. Are those in Westminster really that devoid of common sense. I almost feel like going there into the chamber and telling them to “stop, look around you and the country and deal with the basics”. Infuriating!

Thats just shot a few in the arse on here who still havent got over brexit. Imagine boris or george announcing £2.50/ha to help ease input prices

It will come. BBC news in Liverpool docks talking to a chap having to pay £14 for tomatoes instead of 8-10 normally.
Boris is resting while the heat is off him for a bit

So £1/acre. Wonder how much they’d get for a catastrophe fund? £2/acre? And what about an apocalypse fund? £5/acre? Or a planet-ending fund? £7.50?
