[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 7798457, member: 946"] Why bother supporting a business that needs cheap imported slaves to survive when food can be cheaply imported from the rest of the world? The UK isn't self sufficient now so what would it matter if farmers like [USER=66524]@Lowland1[/USER] grew more veg for the country? The UK could concentrate on producing things that didn't require lots of manual labour, which is what the big combinable farms and livestock units do now. Smaller growers with more modest businesses could carry on growing for farm shops and farmers markets, just leave the supermarket contracts to overseas companies with access to labour. The majority of the UK veg market is only lining the pockets of a few big farming companies, so let them fall over and start again. [/QUOTE]
