[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 3024514, member: 818"] You are not going to get through. Its very deeply ingrained in some. Its not surprising, if you're a 3rd or 4th generation farmer chances are all you have ever known is subsidy and the mantra 'Farming special, food important, must be subsidised!'. All the hundreds of thousands, probably millions of miners, steel workers, fishermen, ship builders, railwaymen, factory workers etc etc that have thought the same over the last 70 years and discovered they weren't irreplaceable have just passed you by. The fact that less than 1% of the population is involved in farming and over 99% aren't doesn't matter to you - the 1% tail should wag the 99% dog. To be honest it doesn't matter now - subs are going whether farmers like it or not, Brexit has made sure of that. So at a guess everyone has approximately 4-5 years to formulate and implement a plan for how they will manage without them - if they don't chances are they'll be toast pretty soon after. [/QUOTE]
