We need to do what ever it takes

[spitfire]

As farmers we need to take charge of what we can do and what we do best,i call for all organisations to work together to cut out all the hangers on so we can produce as much essential food as we can.
We need to approach the government with a clear set of measures to help from increasing food security to aiding transport and storage to providing land for like mined to grow food ,Boris has enough on his plate so lets help where we can.

At this time of the year what foods to farmers actually produce? Genuine question.

Meat and dairy obviously and some stored veg and cereal that could be brought to the market now I guess.

Other than that I doubt much else can be available till July?

We could produce strawberries and cream in major quantities by late May- particularly when Wimbledon is cancelled.

And there will be mountains of swedes and potatoes still on farms. And Roe Deer need culling. And badgers. And Canada and Pinkfoot geese. And eggs and poultry. I'll give it a bit more thought later.

And Lleyn, Easycares and other disastrous breeds of sheep could be forcibly culled. And Salers - the cattle, not the mariners.

Meat was already covered. I'm more asking what fruits and veg and the like we can produce instantly if the imports are going to stop very suddenly. I'm genuinely interested to know.

If it came to it there is plenty to eat, think of all the pigeons, rabbits and deer folk could 'harvest' and eat.

There's still plenty of this left on the supermarket shelves!

I don't think that Boris has much to do with it. It's all his "advisers" and civil servants building their own little fiefdoms that want to destabilise common sense to give themselves more power and getting income from their mates that then benefit.

Shows how wasteful this vegan rubbish really is...... most of it will likely get dumped.

We’ve had floods and now the plague, and next we’ll have famine!

Mushrooms. Colleagues of ours busy upping production, pretty quick turnaround. One of many, many food stuffs that we should never have exported the production of in the name of globalization. That experiment failed, as it always would, time to re-localize.

Plenty stored veg going about.

retailers need to drop their arbitrary cosmetic standards for prepack veg tho.

Carrots with broken tips are still carrots. Carrots under 20mm diameter are still carrots.

yet they want these thrown out.

Use by dates won’t be looked at. They will just be glad to have food
