[QUOTE="Paul Crowe, post: 6712678, member: 145479"] To find those kind of farmers you need to look into alternative farming,organics and the such. Plenty over here small, one man operations making it pay. [/QUOTE] You also need to take advantage of opportunities offered. We could not grow tomatoes cheap enough to compete with the Spanish imports but a neighbour said could we grow Okra nd Mooli Radishes. Myboss and I had no idea what they were let alone how to grow them but said we would give it a try. Then it was a quick drive to our local Horticultural College in Pershore to get the relevant information We grew very good crops of both which our neighbour sold for us at the Indian ethnic market in Birmingham at a very good price and profit! The following year he wanted us to grow more of them plus Bitter Gourds and Herb Coriander these also sold well though why anybody would want to eat Bitter Gourds is beyond me they are revolting. In subsequent years we grew Bok Choi, Choi Sum to replace some of our Brassica rotations. You never know what you can do if you dont take the opportunities. [/QUOTE]
