[QUOTE="digger64, post: 5979694, member: 16562"] How is it a weather problem ? - this year 2018 yes did I mention predators ? I already agreed with you about walls etc .leisure values etc My point was giving subsidy to destock means those animals move somewhere else usually someone else's stock is already there they don't just disappear , Giving subsidy to destroy productive land that could be grazed or used for winter feed means it has to come from somewhere else this means these farms are less resilient and have to enter the market place someone will have to give up or go without eventually when the price becomes unsustainable ( yes this would advantage the seller in the short term and that is where the sub will end up ) . Less lambs - sometimes but I doubt it Higher costs - guaranteed for all demand for store and breeding stock reduced . I guess eventually those farms will become scrub or just summer pasture and you will get all the property development opportunities you crave as no one will live there . [/QUOTE]
