That's always what I've thought. A friend of mine is a farm manager for a large spud outfit supplying Walkers.Just listened to The Food Programme ~
BBC Radio 4 - The Food Programme, Animal-free dairy: Could this be the future of milk?
How far could animal-free dairy alternatives go in disrupting dairy production?www.bbc.co.uk
Let them eat gloop from vats that can be sabotaged or bombed
Just thought it may be of interest.
Hopefully the general public will take note.View attachment 1022434View attachment 1022435View attachment 1022435

omgNever considered that there may be no fish & chips due to sunflower oil shortage. Note from the article that national Federation of Fish Fryers projects that as many as 4000 out of 10,000 chip shops could go out of business
Times are looking very bleak
Beef dripping used to be used by the fryers before vegetable oil, another use for the fifth quarter. Tough luck on the vegans but eh f*ck ‘em!Never considered that there may be no fish & chips due to sunflower oil shortage.

Last year a load of wheat bought about 18t of fert, next yr it will buy half a load. It’s not gonna a be sunshine and roses.What a wave of negativity! Costs are rising, but so are prices.
Farming and farmers have a fantastic survival instinct.
Survived the early 1970's Oil crisis (petrol ration books were actually issued than but not needed) the imposition of milk quotas and various BSE crises.
The high input systems reliant on cheap fuel, feeds, fertiliser and chemicals will have to be adapted to new circumstances but, much as after the imposition of milk quotas, farmers will find that they can actually farm "cheaper" and still make a good living.
If anyone is going to feel the pinch it will be the supply industry and farms reboot to live within their own resources and realise that tractors can last far longer than we think and stock are able to feed themselves rather than have a waiter service courtesy of £100,000 worth of loaders tractors and mixer wagons.
Until it’s too late ,as most of the public do not realise how long it takes for a crop to grow from planting to being available on supermarket shelf and that goes for all diets society choose to eat and wherever in the world crops are grown/ processed.Times are looking very bleak but I don’t think most of the public have a clue
