Because the opportunity cost of growing cereals or what ever in marginal situations will be lower and that will in turn potentially lower your fixed and feed costs but as an owner occupier you perhaps would understand what opportunity cost is !
Growing grain is far from a cheap job and depending on yield you will be circa £100t + for the most efficient farmer,if on marginal land with poor yields then it could easily be £150t.
Fert/ Fuel/ machinery/ seed/ chemical etc costs will NOT drop post subs ( if that happened ).
Given your comments about the exchange rate and its effects on prices and now this then no offence intended but you don't seem to have a good understanding of these matters.
