No offence, but show us the money you talk of.

As an aside, had a letter today from HMRC concerning Self Employment Income Spport Scheme (SEISS)
It is fair to say me and numerous other (scottish in particular) producers will not be eligible.
Why?, because thankfully our industry continued to trade and trading profits were not significantly affected.

I thought beef prices were up?
Did dairy farmers receive an extra 2p a litre for milk? I thought a lot of them got well and truly shafted by their buyer because demand for certain products was well down during the early days of covid.

Doubt demand was down...
Just not available product in packaging suitable for lock down life.
Extreme example...no household's would need a 1000 litre ibc whereas 1litre containers were short supply.

some of us potato farmers have been hit hard, first lock down the price was cut by half over night. Never recovered, have had two seasons effected, will be lucky to cover the growing costs this past year. We’ve only had the self employed money. Have these other industries had extra support then?
