Do you think the UK government will continue these subsidies post Brexit?
Either you've not been in remote areas or perhaps you're a bit thick?! (No offence)
When there is as many '000 s of acres as there is that agriculturally speaking is , to use a technical term - fekkin useless, but is farmed today, even with a low stocking rate of 1 ewe; 5 acres or so, it doesn't take much to go back to a great depression situation where everyone would -rightly- leave the land derelict.
Government pumps in £ X, to lift the economics to subsistence level, keeps unemployment statistics down, nature conservation booms, the upland community is maintained and x 000 tons of carbon is stored in the peat.
Yes it's bollox, but what happens in government that isn't?
