[QUOTE="farmerm, post: 7866589, member: 7195"] It is a complete rural myth that there is any relationship between supermarket profit and farm subsidies. For starters few farmers supply supermarkets directly most of us produce commodity products which are bought by processors in the supply chain. You think if supermarkets paid a bit more to their suppliers of bread, meat and cheese that those processors would pass all that extra money down to their suppliers , not if they can help it they won't. Its basic economics, price is dictated by supply and demand and the annual "dole cheque" props up the supply side. Take BPS away and nothing changes on the demand side of the equation. Any rise in sales relating to removal of ag subs can only occur as a result of reduced supply and a reduced supply means producers who have been forced to quit. [/QUOTE]
