I know I'm in a minority but I'm looking forward to an exit, farming needs a kick in the Arse at the moment. The first priority these days is what grant can I get and it should be what stock or crops can make a profit.
I mean look at the glastir and other schemes, it's designed to stop you farming. You cannot make a living farming it that way without bribes and then you've had it for five years.
Most seem to be chasing the brown envelope ( I don't blame them, it's the system that allows it ) instead of looking to the future, the future is less suport so it's better to get used to it now. our own country's systems will help us because it's in its interest to, the eu won't because they don't want us to be more successful than their farmers.
I can tell you one thing for sure, if we stay in and people start moaning about the sub going in a year or two, I will remind them that it's to late to start wanting change then.
This chance won't come again, so grasp it with both hands!
