[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7824624, member: 86168"] it's just a complete buggers muddle, mainly caused by green zealots, preaching what they don't fully understand, and idiotic mp's, agreeing, because they don't want to admit, they don't understand either. They 'know' all the answers, but have no idea how those answers will impact on their lives, and could well be in for a big shock, when the penny finally drops. The biggest polluter is fossil fuels, and there is a huge amount of research being done to reduce use. The hydrogen cell looks quite interesting. Scientists will sort out solutions, probably already have, or well on the way to. Plastic, terrible stuff, but oooh so useful, 75% is probably not needed, or could be replaced, jetting off to the sun, for holidays, very nice, but certainly not green. Climate change is the current buzz word, and measures to contain it, are well known, but, if you are a holiday firm, or oil producer, maker of plastic, or many other industries reliant on fossil fuels, they all look to pass the buck, which is, modern farming, and farting cows, although we are the answer, to many of the causes, we seem to get the blame, for creating the problem, an 'easy touch'. Yes, we probably use more 'chemical fixes' than are strictly necessary, and we should cut back, but we are only doing, what the guv really wants, cheap food. And, to be fair, if we cut back on all the imputs, fert etc, all that will happen, is less production, and none of us, should worry about that, quite the opposite, supply and demand, will dictate price, and with energy costs rising, and fuel use forced down, that's a lot of our foreign competitors, shafted. The biggest problem with climate change, is nobody has thought about how the solutions, will actually pan out, and, food costs are quite rapidly rising, is that really a problem for us ? Covid, basically fudged all the carefully prepared, and costed out, global trade routes, and it will take years, to realign them, if ever it is possible. Chuck in all the 'greening ideas', as well, l suspect many of those zealots, may have a rethink. The old saying from farmers, is, 'l can do without you, but you, cant do, without me.' Is quite apt, at this present time. On N use, there are many ways to improve soil fertility, without it, or reduced use, we just have to relearn the basics, of a proper rotation, rather than simply rely on it, and, like it, or not, we will have to. Chemicals have allowed cheap food, the loss of them, will produce dearer food, from our point of view, what's the problem ? [/QUOTE]
