[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 9208806, member: 718"] The powers that be do not consider agriculture with its highly marginal profitability and therefore low tax take, to be of more than the slightest importance. Indeed to many powerful London based economists, advisers and politicians, agriculture in the UK is more of a nuisance and cost than it is worth. That may come as a shock to many farmers and it is probably not a majority view among the population at large. However, neither the general public nor farmers [any longer] have any significant influence on the people that do have the power. We need to remember that as far as city folk are concerned, all their food is already imported, all the way from the factory to their local supermarkets and restaurants. [/QUOTE]
