Incredible how quickly the Beeb have forgotten about their rewilding agenda. Where's Roger Harrabin gone? I'm genuinely concerned, he usually gets 95% of every farming article to explain how all the land needs taking off evil farmers and trees planting on it

They need a period of things hard to get so they dont forget .

It’s too late already.

Farms are like supertankers,they take a long time to turn around.

Good job we don’t rely on imported food………..

higher food prices and shortages are deserved to by many in this country, the arrogant attitude towards the producer of the primary provider of lives essentials is incredible.Nobody wants to be labelled as a hero for being a farmer but we should never have been constantly labelled as evil destroyers of the countryside, They reap what they sow. Unfortunately it is the poor which will suffer ironically probably the ones which valued food already.

Does all out food production have to come with all out environmental destruction?

Surely we don't want to live somewhere that only humans and our chosen species can live?

In any case it's far from clear to me that food commodity production is any more profitable now than it has been for the last few years at current input and output prices

Car parks all full up ....people are still spending ! No sign of a letup in the amount of traffic .

Dont forget Herefordshire is the home of relocating retirement people
with big pensions .Sad when you go to Bristol less than 50 miles away
and see the job opportunities being created .

Best fill ur freezers with these 'overweight ' hoggets that they ' don't want ' instead of giving all this free meat away , self sufficiency as much as possible looks the way at the min , get the veg patch producing !

Question is if things get tight how many of those folk could actually cook a Sunday lunch to save a quid or two?

I think he abandoned environmental issues and became a virus expert overnight.
Bizarrely I watched one of his vids on the subject and thought he spoke a great deal of sense.
