The government press release a few weeks ago said it's new policies would be delayed at least a year so we stay on the current system until new policies come in.

UK currently imports 40% of it's food. Why would any farmer object to Brexit?

 

[Muck Spreader]

According to Andersons report, a no deal Brexit will result in slightly improved profits for the horticulture and intensive pig and poultry sectors. But loses for all other sectors, with the sheep being the worst affected with a 31% drop in profitability. However, if a deal is concluded the effect should be significantly less, if subsidies are maintained at current levels.

How much is ‘significantly less’ and your statement suggests profitability will drop even with a deal but with less or no ability to negotiate new trade efforts?

i actually voted leave but tbh that was in the naive hope of less regulation....it's clear though that we won't be making our own laws under some 'remain in all but name deal'.....we're also not going to get any protection/help from our govt...hate it as i do i might have to 'turn my coat'
