[QUOTE="martian, post: 6501290, member: 801"] Interesting times. Sarah Singla came to talk at the first Groundswell Show and one of the things she said that stuck with me was that, in a farming family, it used to be the slightly half-witted child who'd stay behind and farm, whilst anyone with 'get up and go', got up and went. Now farming has got interesting, it's the clever ones who want to stay. Admittedly she's from France, where farmers are well-respected anyway, but we ought to realise that we are the heroes of the future, not just feeding the nation, but regenerating our soils, sorting climate change and the rest. There's a real Millwall fan mentality (in the UK anyway) with farmers, 'everyone hates us and we don't care'. It's not good. [/QUOTE]
