A couple of months ago, I started getting all of my meat, fruit, and dairy from a local butcher and farm shop. It's only a little more expensive, less waste and more money for local farmers. I mostly did it to spite Lidl for pressuring me to download their app.

Tell your local farmers to make eat easier for you to become a permanent customer.

You are right about that, I have noticed jets flying back and forth behind the grey clouds and they are there for hours. The usual airforce jets are only around for a short time and they rapidly accelerate and turn all over the place, usually 2 having dog fights. These other jets fly in straight lines and fly relatively like passenger planes, no roaring afterburners and noisy turning manoeuvres or steep climbs and dives. At weekends and bank holidays it seems the sun gets through, then the seeders are back for the week. This is happening all over the country from what I have seen and been told. Sometimes you can see a grid pattern, so it is obvious what they are doing. B'stards!

@@peterwait641 I worked with the airline industry 10 years. Flight planning software ensures that the optimal flight route is always used. That means you should never see crisscross patterns on the sky. Because flying 90 degrees against one optimal flight path is just stupid waste of fuel.

Create their own medical centre for example, perhap get volunteers or retired people from the industry to become available and only to those who subscribe and live in the vicinity. The expand this notion for other things of importance and then let the councils and Government know that we are no longer going to pay taxes, NI or council tax, that the people can run more efficiemntly. Ne need to focus on what matters and this would be a great example of getting people to join forces. The main reason is that most people you talk to are aware of all the failures and incentives that are not going to work and feel that there's no solution voting for the RED and Blue Government. So we have to think differently and start working together and we need to put these things into practice speedily.

That’s a 100k increase in my overdraft. This is unsustainable and I am determined to cut my losses. I could indeed earn far more, but not enough to live on, from producing nothing at all. To top it all, new Welsh regulations force me to spend at least £200k on new infrastructure and more land even if I only maintained current production. That’s totally impossible. I’m out and nothing you can do will alter that now.

[@gavinminion8515]

TBH this is more about the choices consumers make (or are forced to make). Anyone could choose to buy more locally produced food and fewer imports, but this will cost more as the imports are generally from countries with lower costs (and standards). Many people can't afford the difference and so buy the cheaper imports. Governments could impose tariffs, but then your food just becomes more expensive - like a stealth tax. Perhaps we should change our diets to include more locally produced food and in-season food - importing beef from South America costs the whole economy whilst sheep farmers in the UK struggle to sell lamb locally.

Where I’ve lived all my life, as a kid (50yrs ago) there were at least 10 dairy farms with 5 mins drive and only one still have cows (not sure if they are still a dairy farm). There’s more people now living in this country, yet far fewer farms….🤷🏼‍♂️

[@hedydd2]

The government imperative is cheaper and cheaper food so that people can spend more on luxuries. So farmers have always had to respond by increasing mechanisation and the amount of land and food that each person earning a living from the land produces. Inevitably that has led to far fewer but bigger farms employing less people per unit of output. Before the World Wars, over half the population made a living from working the land. Nowadays only a tiny fraction are left and even those are struggling and now are being incentivised to farm less yet produce as much, even though in Wales at least, the Government is aiming to put 20% of productive land on every farm aside to be planted with trees or scrub. That kind of magic doesn’t work in the real world outside of politician’s offices. I’ve already decided to take The King’s Shilling to not produce food, because that will give me an income of some £15k a year while the last year has increased my overdraft by 100k from working hard to produce food. Not in a small way either. I produced two million, one hundred and twelve thousand pints of milk in the year to April, all bound for London. It is imperative that I cut those losses and at today’s milk price it can’t be done. Even with a 20% price increase with no cost increase to make it viable, it will take two years to recoup my last year’s loss. On top of which the Welsh Govt are limiting my production and would force me to spend up to 200k just to produce legally what I’ve been producing annually already for the last 40 years. I’m not doing it. I’m out of the game sooner rather than later or I’ll be in the poor-house.

I knew this prediction as early at 2005. Climate models have generally been very accurate. Most measurements have been in the range predicted by the models. The only issue has been that climate scientists have tended to prefer the less extreme models, whilst measurements are closer to those predicted by the more extreme models. This isn't good news as the 'unpredictability' here is in the effects - what we don't know is what the effects might be and they might be more extreme than we are predicting.

I listened to a conspiracy theorist bloke at work talking about cloud seeding to control food. I knew it had been done to control weather for the Beijing Olympics. I think China did it to make sure it didn't rain during the events and Russia did it to make sure there was Snow for the winter Olympics. To control the food was a stretch for me but I'm starting to think he was maybe correct.

[@robbierobson3251]

Don't worry, it's all under control! The government has solved this problem by building on all the agricultural land in Thanet, East Kent, all around the area where I live. Not only does this grade 1 farmland never flood, but it is about the best quality agricultural land in the country. Apparently this makes it ideal to build thousands of houses on. The perfect solution to the problem of national food poverty. We are clearly led by some very clever people. I hope that you will all sleep more easily, now!!!

I do indeed work on a farm Geoff and there is always (almost) a way to get things done. Here, because of the weather we're kind of reverting back to slightly more primitive methods to get things in the ground. Obviously I'm aware of surrounding larger farms that tend to monocrop (eggs in one basket springs to mind) and when things are right it's the easier way to make a living-but things aint right! As I spend most of my waking hours outside and have done for MANY years I can assure you that the cloud seeding weather manipulation is very VERY real. Keep on with this subject as you reach a lot of people that others don't and yes, in case you were wondering, I get about 90% of my food supplies from farm shops. It's no cheaper for me to buy from these places as it is for anyone else but we've got to keep the food here, local/national and keep the farms running. Much respect to all you do and thankyou-thumbs up!

Geoff oh Geoff, I could write a book on the decimation of the british farming industry since the 1990's, but we have crossed that particular Rubicon, and it will take more than a bit of government "tinkering" to return us to the levels of self sufficiency we had reached by the late 80's. One of the biggest obstacles is the singular lack of understanding by public and politician alike to how food is grown. Certainly far more to it than having a "field", planting seed, and harvesting at a later date. As for the weather? We have had comparable years, although I have to admit this spring has been particularly ******. But as I have just alluded to, farming is a long term project, not a 6 month cycle. Good luck with getting an audience of interested parties, as "those who must be obeyed" will be monitoring you, that's for certain.

I am a retired farmer, all this bad weather is nothing to do with weather modification (only used to hide the fact from the public we are entering a Super GSM) .

The terminology I found most interesting in geoenginering terms was solar masking, which seems to be a real thing! However what I cant get my head round is why they would use that in Scotland?!

[@peterbetts8740]

Not many folks will like this but, here goes. First, my 'interest' comes as a now retired livestock farmer (250 acres of glacial till clay) from the very north east corner of Cumbria, just slight north of the line of Hadrian's Wall. I know a thing or two about rain, weather and what *really* makes 'climate' I follow the output from 7 little 'Wunderground' personal weather stations, ones with 20+ year records and covering England in almost the exact same pattern as the official 'Central England Temperature' stations do. What they say has happened to England's rain does not agree with what we're told here. For western England (20 yrs) the average rain was between 1000 and 1200mm For eastern England the 20 year average was between 600 and 800mm What happened was that from early 2022, the rainfall decreased (all across England) by about 200mm per year. THEN, in and around July 23, it picked right up again and made up the lost water so that western England is now heading for an annual total of around 1400 and eastern England closer to 900mm = the rainfall total has made up that 200mm deficit. THAT is what the farmers are seeing and complaining about. You decide if that is a lot. This is the Bad News. What the farmers are seeing is puddles, ponds and lakes in their fields and rivers turning into torrents of muddy brown water. They also see more cloudiness hence less sunshine to evaporate that water away. 'muddy brown' is the clue and is what's happening here - it's called Soil Erosion and the farmers themselves are causing it. They do it with endlessly repeated ploughing, cultivations, fertilising and weed-killing of their land but especially to grow *annual* plants, Such as wheat, potatoes, beans, maize, sugar-beet, oilseeds, cabbages etc etc. This destroys the organic fraction of their soils and when that happens, the water retentiveness plummets. That soil organic matter is what captures and retains (rain) water, slowly releases it but also it binds the soil together. It is actually composed of bacteria and they need living plants at all times to sustain them. They also especially do not want to be exposed to the sun (ploughed up), allowed to dry out or be poisoned by excess fertiliser and other chemicals. And when they die, they raise atmospheric CO2 levels and any rain that falls can sit in puddles and lakes, can race away down even very gentle slopes and rapidly turns rivers into raging torrents of mud. Which is precisely what the farmers are seeing and commenting on, blaming 'excess rain' for causing it. No, the rain has not been excessive, it is the water handling capacity of the land that has changed and, the farmers did it to themselves. They did NOT inflict this damage willingly upon themselves. Very effectively Government did it via subsidies (control) and Government did that because they believe that everyone wants 'cheap food' Soil Erosion is the price we all pay for that cheap food and soil erosion is what the farmers are actually commenting on here
