When did the government overreach and interference start, that's lead to all the hassle we all have now from other bodies thinking they own us or what we grow before we have even sold it?
Obviously WW2 and WW1 we were about starved out so the government had the war Ag committees etc. But were our fore barers in the 1800's free as per say to farm and do as they liked? Or was it more the medieval farmer the last of the free farmers? Obviously there were the corn laws and other laws passed by governments and kings through the ages and taxes etc.
So which generation and point in history did we think let them get their foot in the door and ruin it all.
Currently sat doing our soil management plan update along with other crap we have to do which got me resenting the generations that didn't have to do this kind of nonsense. Do they honestly think we actively try to ruin and degrade the soils which provide us with life and our livelihoods!? (Yes some folk don't care and are "bad farmers"). Also cursing those that let the thin end of the wedge into the industry and spoil it for the future generations. I do wonder what they would think now to see what levels of control and burocracy we have to operate under.
*I'm not moaning about HSE as much as i loathe it because we all have a duty to family and employees to look after them and those on the roads etc. Also, frankly they would in this modern day and age always have influence on the industry because of the claim society we are in.
