[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8104978, member: 86168"] doesn't it go something like, 'you reap what you sow' they have certainly sowed the seeds, but they won't like the harvest. but farming is a business, and we, as farmers, have to make longer term decisions, than politicians have to. And to be honest, looking at the longer term, food production doesn't look like meeting demand. However, we are not at the point, where politicians actually realise that, and until they do, its better to assume they don't. And to make our business decisions, based on what we do know, rather than what our hearts tell us. Fert price has concentrated farmers minds, some say its still good value, others its to dear, whatever happens, it will be used more judiciously, and perhaps on poorer ground, not justified at all. I live in hope, our NFU, are sending the right message to politicians, in the correct way, alas, l suspect not. But things are changing, quite rapidly, certainly faster than politicians can cope with. An interesting year ahead, l think. [/QUOTE]
