Excellent as ever from Harry Metcalf

....because??

He delivers a highly damaging message. One that should be avoided at all costs.
He says that there is a difference, environmentally, between a cow in a shed and a cow in a field.
There is no scientific basis to that statement, and it is one that drives a wedge right down the middle of UK livestock production.
If he wishes to differentiate between UK and imported produce, then he should talk about food miles, not production systems.
There is nothing wrong our side of the farm gate.

Yup makes more money from cars than farming! But a good watch all the same
He doesn't make that much money from cars, although it wouldn't take that much to better the income in a bad year from a moderately sized combinable crop farm. He has the cars because he can afford them. He also has a yacht in the South of France and lord knows what else. He founded, owned and ran EVO car magazine and sold it for millions. Maybe a typical farmer from his area but not your typical man at all. I doubt whether his neighbours are in the same league unless he is surrounded by similar moneyed farmers who made it outside the industry.
