[QUOTE="maen, post: 6657912, member: 23494"] Having watched the program I was left thinking it was a marvellous advert for UK produced livestock. Having seen Beef lots, mega Dairies and Hog Farming US style it is a true record and one that I would not want to be party to. It was noticeable that corporate business seems to be the driver to the scale of production, Company feedlots, bed and breakfast Hogs. UK farm production is way different but we may need to be limited in individual unit size to ensure avoiding similar criticism in the future. Big is not always beautiful. Given the choice of production, family run units deliver a more customer friendly product. We should be avoiding the corporate style agribusiness that was well documented in the program. I remember talking to a lady that lived in the corn belt in the USA. She commented that once the local farmers started to irrigate their maize the humidity got so high they went to their summer house in the Hills. I would suggest that it is a problem when your activity changes the local climate. That’s the USA for you. [/QUOTE]
