[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7807531, member: 86168"] the world is sleepwalking into a disaster, there is no good news anywhere. A global pandemic has basically screwed up the delivery system, the just in time, policy is well and truly fudged. And there is no way of knowing if/when another will hit. The news is taking summer holidays in the sun, as more important than how many people are dying in the '3rd world'. These countries are where new trade deals are being done, their trade with us, is food, cheap food. The more the climate change zealots shout, the fossil fuel industry, holiday firms etc, the common theme, is intensive farming is the problem, more restrictions will be dumped on us. Great, carry on, all that will happen, is we will produce less, the less produced, will mean prices will rise. That will force people to spend more on food, which will mean less spent on taxable goods =less income for guv. That reduction is about to happen, price of N alone will cause that, plus the relentless rise in imput costs, which will mean, more imports, from those countries on their knees, from covid, through the ports, that cant handle the volumes arriving, then of course, rising fuel prices, making transport more expensive etc. But one big hurdle, isn't mentioned, the just in time, policy is finished, which will force all supply businesses to carry more stock, from ag suppliers, repair firms, service industries etc, who actually has the money to fund it ? No guv will let food supplies get to expensive, if they can avoid it, that means subsidies, on food, not on the environment, they can't do both, and they cant do without us. All adding up to one massive great balls-up, on a global scale, without many/any solutions, and making world peace very very shaky. [/QUOTE]
