[QUOTE="Pilatus, post: 7476124, member: 381"] I ask only out of interest as a semi retired ex tenant farmer in the Uk.. I can understand why Uk agriculture was subsided after the 2nd world war to rapidly increase food production in those days of desperate need. But in all honesty I have never really understood why they weren’t phased out say through the 1960’s when Uk food production was well up compared to immediately after the war. I admit I was always pleased to get any subsidies in any form, but I have always thought that as a tenant farmer that subsidies inflated rents. Lastly why has the Uk/ eu hung on to such a highly subsidised agricultural industry for so long compared to New Zealand. I know that Eu/ Uk subsidies/ rural payments are going to be drastically cut back in the coming years. [/QUOTE]
