[QUOTE="teslacoils, post: 7798859, member: 127792"] I'd rather sell small bales of hay to a handful of spoilt nags, than grow milling wheat at a loss so Mr Tesco can use it for a price war advertising campaign. Public wants UK grown, sustainable, regenerative, low carbon, insert buzzword here food? They can just bloody pay for it can't they? There will soon be a list of countries getting govt support for fert bills. Ffs there's a list of UK companies getting govt support due to energy prices which includes a fert maker! If I'm not on the list getting a handout, then quite frankly they can go to hell. Decoupled bps to wean us off the govt teat.....well that's coming home to roost. Here's an idea. I'll grow another 75ac of food - on mid tier land. They can claim force majeure cos of the rioting hungry masses; pay me the mid tier money anyway; while I'm at it I'll have my bps upfront; and in return I'll plant 75ac of spring barley with my own money and sell it to the state at £5/t under the world price. Not a ton leaves the farm without cleared funds in my bank. No backsies. [/QUOTE]
