[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6515449, member: 54866"] I'm sorry are these people being paid to produce food or as tourist attractions? If they want to be tourist attractions I am sure jobs with the National Trust are available. Throwing 20K of tax payers money at wholly unprofitable businesses has to stop, it's a complete waste. And don't give me the 'but they spend it on cow cake and fertiliser' line: those industries are all tied up by national or even multinational companies who the tax payer should not care a cent for. If folk want paying money to trim their hedges that is an entirely different matter and a small sum would be provided for that. Giving them blanket money to churn out endless beef, lamb or whatever into marketplace that could well do without it is madness for the entire industry. What is it with those farmers who complain about market forces yet insist on totally ignoring market forces by producing stuff despite the fact even the most broken calculator can't make it stack up? Folks must recognise that years of subsidisation has meant farming practice and output is now totally out of kilter with the natural environment and market demands- all it has done is put off the inevitable and do untold damage to the environment and the industry itself.
