I support you, Gareth and all British farmers. We must buy from farm shops whenever we can and listen to those work on the land. We must pay for good food. It’s important. Cheap food comes at high price.

Brilliant piece by Gareth Wyn Jones, but I wonder why it is titled the "Angry Farmer"? Far from it, it is a very insightful interview and should have a positive connotation for both the farming community and the wider general public.

We need more passionate, accurate and honest promotion of countryside values and ways of life. This is the kind of heartfelt realistic honesty that should be promoted on programs like Countryfile which in my opinion has reached the depths of blandness!! Not was it was in its initial Sunday morning position. It is now pedalling Climate change, planting trees and tasting food, it’s like a child’s program. We need better presentation of the Country life and its values and Farmers are the custodians and know what’s happening on the ground. As a farmer you will soon be able to plant wild flowers as an offset scheme to allow a House Building Company to build its properties in a nature less landscape and farmers will allow them to do this. The idea is to make the area where the homes are being built more nature friendly. Farmers are being pushed to take this nature bribe as a way to diversify their land income. It’s surely not right! Is it?

trees are getting cut down daily in massive amounts by councils all over the UK! How can they insist on taking your/our land to plant trees when they are paying people (with our money) to cut down trees all day every day??? Full support to you Gareth and all our farmers

It's sad to see what things have come to in Britain. I can remember when pigeon and rabbit shooting could be had for the asking, when BASC members could shoot wildfowl on the foreshore. I understand that that's no longer the case. Mr. Jones makes some good points, but none stronger than the fact that people have lost connection of where food comes from. Eggs aren't layed by cartons and meat doesn't come into this world wrapped in clingfilm on a styrofoam platter. Something has to die for something else to carry on living. I spent 11 years in Suffolk from '82 to '93, and while I've been back in the U.S. for a couple of decades, I still look back at those years as some of my best time spent in the countryside with a gun in my hand. Cheers, fellas, I wish you all the best.

The land was much more fairly shared out back then all the small holdings round here started disappearing in the 1980-1990's when the post WW2 small holders started retiring and the bankers started snapping them up.

I agree with most of what has been said but I have to say I’m all for reinstating small pockets of woodland, even if it means paying the farmers large subsidies, the uk was once covered by 70% of woodland and we need more pockets back again

A lot of farms in Wales have woodland, which are already part of schemes, there'll be no room for rotational grazing if there's more woodland.

There's a huge food shortage in this world, plant the steep sides you can't farm all day, but planting good fruitful land is a huge waste, and will only make more people hungary.

Great work Gareth.... as a suggestion, to try to make it "sexy": - is it possible to approach a school to organise a monthly visit to an local estate to look at their different types of farming on their farms - Video it - Get it sponsored by the farming industry, DEFRA, BBC invite the MP for agri and MP for education and make it a TV mini series, but make it funny. - The following year approach a different school & estate We need to get it on TV but funny brings viewers. #BBC #ITV

My boss on a dairy farm took it on the chin. He made no money for 3 years on milk. Every time the government put more money on milk the dairies took those pence in overheads. I miss it but no longer work on a farm!

I agree with we need to go back to eating food in season and be more self efficient but food cost shouldn’t have to go up as the cost should be less as food is not being imported so less transport cost and I wonder how many of these poor farmers drove home in their £120k Range Rovers

The real farmers can't afford Range Rovers, and probably wouldn't buy them anyway as they are pretty rubbish off-road.
