[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7789046, member: 86168"] while normally l would totally agree with you, there is 'the perfect storm' of events occurring at the moment. Transport costs are getting stupid, with severe driver shortages, throughout the UK and more so in the EU, the just in time, policy of delivering, well and truly shot, coupled with imput costs rapidly rising, farmers are rapidly running out of profit, without more money, to buy the higher imput costs, output is going to fall. While many would say, 'farmers always moan about prices', l think that this time, many can no longer tighten the belt. I do not worry about rising food costs for the public, they have always moaned about us, whether being accused of 'feather bedded', massively subsidised, rolling in money, destroying the planet etc, apart from the last, l would quite like those points, to be correct. The world is witnessing a mammoth change, covid has affected everyone, in Europe, brexit, energy rapidly rising, is all causing problems, that have to be 'sorted out', before anything like normality returns, if ever. But the biggest change, is the 'rich' western economies, are in decline, and being replaced by the far eastern, so called tiger economies. Where that will lead to, no idea, and not sure if politicians have either, which is scary. [/QUOTE]
