[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6820070, member: 86168"] defra, from time to time, have had a moan about markets, and how they think there time is gone, red tractor has dreamed up rules to stop prime mkts, but nothing has come off it. S/mkts would love to shut them down, as it would give them price control, and that would definitely be seriously bad for us. On the other hand, we are in a place, where we haven't been before, and panic regulations are happening, with little concern about long term effect. I must admit, I don't wish for this on any guv, whatever they do, is wrong, for 1/2 the population. Perhaps all we can do is wait, and hope, that common sense prevails ! But, if things carry on getting worse, I can see them being closed, and I would hope auctioneers are getting a serious private treaty list going. The farmers that I really feel for, are those with dispersals booked, and, there are quite a lot of them, in the pipe line. For us, we took the pressure, no's wise, off at Exeter yesterday, so, while we do have more stock to sell, we can hold them. [/QUOTE]
