[QUOTE="Humble Village Farmer, post: 8104679, member: 142541"] I find it quite easy to take the opposite view. It's the high cost of inputs combined with the possibility of falling grain prices which makes me very wary about spending too much up front. It's the buyers of our products who continue to treat farmers badly. Look at the egg producers at the moment and the pig trade over the last few months; and what about the wheat, maize and other grains imported with no farm assurance? The government are at least offering an environmental alternative with guaranteed rates of return for those more risk averse. For those of you so certain of the high margins available, why would you bother with elms or any other government handouts? And make food more affordable to consumers? How does that work in the "this time next year Rodney" scenario some are so confidently predicting? [/QUOTE]
