Why so little?
I am voting outsay what you mean ...don't 'dress it up'
but I don't think it will be the garden of eden for farmers that some think it will be
just watching dorris on CF saying all the right things now, just like they all do before an election, just you wait till our useless lot start doing trade deals they will trade farmers down the river quick as a flash
don't forget this is the UK gov we are talking about, the ones that brought us BSE, foot and mouth and TB really f**king brilliant record on looking after farming and all our so call union do is cosy up to them
you haven't made a profit for 25 years ?
And you're still voting out ... you must be masochist
I suppose that is because you haven't got many acres to keep in good conditionAny of the "stay ins " on here care to post their SFP payments ?

Long, long story. Grew a lot of veg in the reference years in the early 2000's. When Wales went for the historic option, spud and veg ground was ineligible. Unfortunately we gave up veg, to grow corn. Bugger.

There is the thread of 177 pages saying how they cant manage without subs https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/bps-15-payments-england.94020/page-177Any of the "stay ins " on here care to post their SFP payments ?

So any of the stay ins got the balls to post their SFP's.......
110 acres work it out
£50 / acre in Wales ATM... so £5500 ?
Mine's more than yours but alot less than @Clive s
mine just gets paid (mostly) to landlords in the form of inflated rents - don't think it will make much difference if we continue to receive it or not in the longer term really
it's a matter of public record under the freedom of information act - you can look it up online
I was asking the stay ins on this topic....but they seem strangely quiet. I have to confess if I was getting £50k + it would concentrate my mind........

Farmers demanded the MMB be broken up saying that competition would bring efficientcies and better milk prices how wrong they were.
Next farmers were eager to sign up to crop assurance when it was first started, they thought it would lead to better prices
Now i see that 2/3 of farmers want out out of EU Talk about biting the hand that feeds you
The last 40 years have been the most profitable farmers have had ,with it be by intervention guarantying prices or Direct payments and subsidy.
I hear that farmers who want out of the EU are saying subsidies keep inefficient farmers going and if those inefficient farmers could be forced out of business then it would free up land for them to then take on to farm Dooh.
I class myself as a large efficient business but there is no way i want to get larger at those less fortunate than myself. expense.
The British government is not going pay equal amounts to farmers that the EU does, whether it is conservative or labour.
We should all thank the french with their burning a tyre in the street attitude to getting farm support.
Iam voting in and all farmers should think very carefully before casting us all adrift without a life boat.
Rant over and breathe.
It was a rant alright but I would question most of your opening paragraph.
I believe Maggie watched over the MMB break up in the hope of increased competition, I wasn't aware of farmers asking for it to be done for them.
I also didn't think farmers were eager to sign up for crop assurance either, they were coerced into it more like with threats of unsaleable produce and the mythical carrot of value that groups such as the NFU dangled in front of them (we won't be doing that again.....WLA!).

That is an issue out of our control (despite talk of a veto), you can bet something will be traded so they can join quicker.
