[QUOTE="Humble Village Farmer, post: 8143981, member: 142541"] I said best year ever, not fantastic! And as you say it's not in the barn yet. Inputs bought this year and cut right back. A good explanation of your situation and doubtless many others, but I think you illustrate perfectly how subsidies have kept prices below the cost of production. The supermarkets have been nicking our stock for years. Why is it ok for them to control the for retail sector, making vast profits while everyone else relies on benefits (including some of their staff if some accounts are to be believed)? I say bring on the crisis and pay a decent price for food. That way, there's a better chance of it being grown next year and the year after. [/QUOTE]
