Nobody has mentioned that the uk isn’t self sufficient in beef or dairy.let’s re wild large parts and then import our food from a recently chopped down rain forest in Brazil

I disagree. The farmers who appear to be doing the best round here are the ones WHO WORK

Eventually it will be rotated round to Alliance or SDLP and unfortunately they both have a very strong environmental mandate at the moment. So it is not a question of 'if' but 'when'.

The ni economy is strongly supported by the food industry including farmers such as ourselves. There will be some green issues around the edges but the mainstream policy will be pro farming pro farmers unlike those ramble countryfile nimby types over the water.
Let them shut down English farming if they want. What's the old saying .....Englands difficulty was Irelands opportunity

I think you overestimate how much production agriculture matters to the majority of people in NI. My friends and acquaintances are overwhelmingly non-farming, and few of them have any idea about it and even less do they care.

Couldn't agree more, both my kids go to a well respected grammar school and the mis-information being taught by the teachers on matters of food sourcing and farming practices is shocking, not the first time they have went to school armed with facts and figures to dispute information given to them in class. What chance do we have when todays children are being programmed with this sh!te?

Do your friends eat. Do they care what they eat. I rest my case
The men with the big hills are scoring bringing in a pile of sub for land that is not for much else, a change towards more environmental schemes will mean that they will still pull in the big money.

It's a weak case. They can and will get it from somewhere else. That's what they've been doing for years.
As long as they can get it off the shelf when they go to tesco they couldn't care less where it came from or what it's made out of.
