[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7791943, member: 718"] Except that despite this, many farmers do earn less than their workers and occasionally make losses which they have to cover financially. It is all to do with 'cheap food' and competing with other country's food producers which may well have higher subsidies and lower costs, including much cheaper labour. However, the UK Government seems to have decided to shut down agriculture, or a massive proportion of it anyway over a relatively short time period. Who is going to be able to afford £20,000 for one truckload of fertiliser next Spring? Not me. Not unless farmgate prices rise by at least 15% between now and then. I'm at the point of no longer being able to justify paying an essential worker either. He takes the net income from around 50 cows these days. [/QUOTE]
