Already are (in around about manner) AD plantsWhat's to stop the UK going back to production based subsidies for livestock, or anything else? I've heard mention of WTO rules but nothing specific. Any ideas?
Tax breaks for active farmers would possibly be the most viable way around the WTO

Basically - no form of taxation on active commodity producers is as good as a cheque..
To keep farmers (and related industries) on the land, of course..But why? Many farmers (not all) own millions of pounds of assets and the only thing they did to earn them was to be born into the right family. Every tax break you give to help tenant farmers will be abused by those who least deserve it.
In the case of real hill farming it had huge benefits for rural communities. Talking specifically about sheep, the production was in effect self limiting due to the harsh environment, but the number of ewes on the hill was maintained, and therefor so was the work, and the money to pay for it, plus all the knock on effects throughout the supply chains etc
red deisel is not a tax breakFamers in the UK already have loads of tax breaks, inheritance tax, red diesel etc etc

Huge fuel taxes here, a litre is about $1.28 at the pump, I pay 85c and then claim on it so ends up around 72c
And everyone's making something on the deal!! The man says he's making roughly what I'm saving. Incredible.
