As cowabunga stated in a different thread, it isn’t the income of “your friends” that is the issue; it’s the low prices for what you produce. Food is still too cheap. There are “other friends” as you put it in the production, distribution and retailing of food who are earning a lot of money! They certainly have this year due to the pandemic.In an industry that moans there is no margin can we afford the extra layers. The “free” calendar etc ...... it all costs and all goes on the prices we pay, it’s simply not really needed these days in a lot ( but not every) case
this graph shows just how bad it’s got and whose talking the money ........ your “friends“View attachment 923867
the green is nett farm incomes ....... the blue is our suppliers ! This is Canadian data but there is a shockingly similar Uk graph the AHDB did that I can’t find just now
our “friends” are taking the pee
