[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8095066, member: 86168"] its better to look at what we do know, prices we get are rising, that tells us, product is 'not plentiful', otherwise we wouldn't get those prices. Food inflation is here, we know that from the press, tv etc. We know production will be down, fert costs around the world will see to that. We know future regulations, on their way, are going to further restrict production. Energy, and fuel costs will make imported food more expensive. And we know the guv thinks there's plenty of food, so cut production, concentrate on saving the planet. Add all them up, and its not overly reassuring, for food supply. Especially with Ukraine and Russia, beating the crap out of each other, that's bad enough, but a serious weather event, in one of the major corn areas, will certainly cause panic. But nothing will change, until the guv actually realises that food costs are to high for the consumer, when it does, panic stations, and this guv likes chucking money at serious problems. They have a simple choice, get food prices down, or get kicked out at the next election. Unfortunately the usual global solution to high prices, are subs on production. And one thing that is certain, is they cannot afford subs for the climate, and for production. Its going to be some 'interesting' times ahead, but to be honest, l don't see many negatives for farming, only positives. [/QUOTE]
