for all those that claim farmers don't need subs and are living pretty at the expense of the taxpayer(who has a much reduced weekly shopping bill thanks to farm support) heres the facts for you....................................... 20% of farms in Scotland made a loss last year,
27% of farmers made less than the minimum wage,
incomes are expected to drop further by 8% this year,
incomes have been "hammered" the past 4 years the most severe decrease in incomes since the 1990s BSE crisis!
