Looking at the various problems across all sectors currently, pigs especially and the imminent removal of subsidies for all I can’t help but think a new mindset is needed. Reject the calls from all that make a better living out of us than we do to produce more, more efficiently and concentrate on tipping the balance in our favour by producing far less. All the jumping through hoops with RT, eye watering machinery finance and rents could be stopped if we weren’t so keen to be bigger and therefore “better”. Better for who? Machinery dealers, fertiliser/chemical salesmen, land agents, middle men in general that’s who. A monster has grown behind our backs to behemoth size while our eyes have been fixed on producing more and it’s about to eat us all alive. The public have no regard for us whatsoever, why should we care if they go short sometimes. It’s a pipe dream I know but it’s the only solution I can come up with
