[QUOTE="blacksheepcontracting, post: 5548854, member: 67502"] Area payments lead to a large part of budget ending up in the wrong hands (1/3 of payment ends up in the hands of the retired in Spain for example). These subsidy mechanisms cause market distortion which affect trading with the rest of the world. It’s very slow to reform and is incredibly bureaucratic Post Brexit Ag policy should provide risk management tools from the state that counter market volatility and severe weather events in the form of insurance and should encourage forward selling/futures contracts and best practice. The government should realise the value of British agriculture and protect it from sub-standard competition (cheaper) from abroad and instead focus on helping farmers meet domestic demand (which we are remarkably close in most commodities). The shortfall should be made up by reduced tariff access from selected countries with similar production standards. The state should support young farmers by offering a cash advance on their crop (wheat, lamb, milk etc) of 70% year 1, 50% year 2 and 30% year 3 on proof of acces to land (fbt or appropriate) to allow them to buy inputs and/or purchase stock These are my views anyway.
