[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 8099889, member: 2119"] I can see a possible direction favoured by the government could be that they encourage poorer countries to grow our food for us so all the nasty smells, slow tractors, pesticides and “animal cruelty” is out of sight out of mind. This leaves the U.K. to carry on pursuing the greening agenda, rewilding, tourism, badger sympathisers, net zero, financial services etc. All wrong in my view but I could see it happening. I’d say the [USER=66524]@Lowland1[/USER] model is what is seen as the way forward. Making a virtue of providing gainful employment for the natives abroad? (And driving costs right down and retail margins up of course). Farming in the U.K. will be a rich man’s hobby, niche economic activity and maybe still a tax dodge unless things change. But the future for widescale commercial farming in the U.K. looks a bit shaky with the present crowd in charge as far as I can see. Just look at the indifference over our fertiliser plants if you don’t believe me. [/QUOTE]
