[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7785344, member: 2119"] I agree with that but I’d also say it could be applied to U.K. agriculture: Why spend money on ELMS propping up rents and land prices when without government subsidy land would fall back to a realistic price and stuff like mine here next to the forestry wouldn’t be worth cropping but could be bought up cheap or just “let go” for rewilding. The forestry commission bought the farm next to us for 35p an acre in the 1950’s before the government decided to underpin farming businesses. Before that time those that weren’t viable failed and rewilded by default and were planted up with trees at little cost to the taxpayer. [/QUOTE]
