Beans beans are good for your heart, the more you eat the better you feel, so eat some beans with every meal!

Is there much of a market for smp in UK? Surely it will have a tariff attached when exported to Africa or Asia.

Yes, all exports under WTO terms may be subject to tariffs. The rates vary from 0%to very high levels of about 40 to 50 % for agricultural products ie beef, lamb, dairy products. Tariffs of these levels make the trade uneconomical and are meant to protect local producers from imports. So milk powder produced by Lakeland at Artigarvan and exported to Africa would be subject to a high tariff unless a trade deal is done between the UK and the importing country. This trade is currently under the EU trade agreement, if a no deal brexit happens then it is likely that Lakeland will supply this market from plants in the ROI which leaves a problem of finding a market for UK produced milk powder. Can any Brexiteers here provide an answer?

What’s not to like about bales? Jumping in and out of the shovel in the height of winter with the wind & rain in your back opening them, a heap of black plastic you can burn on cold nights. A romantic night in with the fermented silage essence that’ll never leave your hands...

Cost and job of stacking/carting in are the biggest downers for me! But you make valid points too.

If Boris hits the election button is that the sfp finished, it was to last the life of the parliament or is it guaranteed to 22,

If the sfp ends, there'll be a lot less farming

Well the commitment to maintain SFP was for the lifetime of the parliament which under the Fixed Term Parliament Act is 5 years which would be 2022. I would expect an election this year so that's the end of the commitment, what replaces it is anyone's guess but we have a very right wing government now who would not be inclined to subsidise any industry
What will happen to the markets that Lakeland already supply from their southern processing plants?
