[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5380844, member: 63856"] That's the part that I, speaking purely as an interested "foreign" spectator, struggle to comprehend: that it is assumed that you can simply pluck out a "thing" - whether it is rural payments, or weather, or politics out and simply assume the rest of the spider-web won't vibrate... everything is interdependent, intertwined, and reliant on the other parts. By comparison, most local farming operations are hugely self-sufficient and self-motivated to become more so, not less so in the future: - Less bought in feed, less bought in medicines and chemicals, less machinery and trimmings to add layers of cost to operations that have already survived the acetylene torch of political detachment. It's really only our dairy industry that trades animal feed, the rest simply trade their animals, the most valuable carbon compound of the lot is thus the most efficient and effective thing to transport about the countryside. Literally, polar opposites, although topographically very similar indeed. Visitors exclaim how similar our local vistas are to the Scottish border or Welsh hill country - with notably sparse population. [/QUOTE]
