Very wise words on the position of farming verses government. Farmers know how to farm and produce food crops for the country. Government couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. People are going to be paying higher prices for imported food with no certification of the standards it was grown to

Love your videos.. Fascinating insight into farming and everyday challenges. As in most things, life would be so much better if the Government kept out of it. Cheers.

Great video. Great content. Just want to say, if you keep posting these videos often enough, you’ll do well. The standard of these videos is great and what an Agribusiness you’ve managed to build. I’ve been following your KZbin channel for a long time and am very glad to see you’ve started posting regularly. I’m sure you heard this before but the guys in charge of this country haven’t got a clue what damage they have done to agriculture in the past and continue to do until today. They’ll never learn, and the sooner agriculture is properly represented in that school playground next to the Thames the better. Only farmers would say no to packing up to quadruple their profits with minimum input. You’re the backbone of society and without you we are all heading for impending doom.

Very well said James. People need to realise we have highly productive land in the UK and also very talented people working that land, be it Arable or Stock Farmers maximising the potential daily and always thinking how to be better, whilst creating environmental benefits also. If the Government/MP’s can’t see that, it clearly demonstrates piss poor performance on their part.

Well put! The Government needs someone like yourself who understands agriculture, not someone guessing the solution be trying to please just one issue, it needs a multi faceted sensible strategy, one which suits individual situations as each situation is individually wrapped.

If certain parties stopped flailing the life out of them every year and managed them properly, we could reduce any tree planting by 30%... thanks again

@edwardcodd39814 ай бұрын
Less food, higher prices.The money put into these schemes would be better subsidising food production which would be better for the economy and help to combat inflation. When the government gets involved with anything they break it then set up a committee to try to work out how to fix it.

We’ve used the sfi to sort out wet areas and sloping fields but absolutely farmers should produce food and those in charge should come and see the issues they cause on you large scale farm and the likes of my 250ac farm

Great video James. My farm is less than 10% of the size of yours, but I share the same view. We've been in countryside stewardship for 30yrs, partly because it historically keeps us compliant with things like leraps but also because it pays the rent on the awkward wet bits. I don't see that changing. The rest of the farm needs farming properly to avoid a black grass epidemic and feed the country. Park keeper life would be incredibly dull anyway!

British farmers have never weaned off subsidies. The govt know you all queue up for a handout and then they turn into your paymasters. Get rid of subsidies and then in turn,govt control. Over simplifying it somewhat but that's the nuts and bolts of the job.

The country needs farmers to produce food , looking back to after the war farmers were encouraged to produce more . Now in this present time the population has increased , far more than back in forties and they want to you produce less it just don't add up . If the public don't open there eyes soon, it will be to late to save British farmer and everything will be imported.

The subsidies should have been phased out shortly after the war and then people would have been paying the right price for food...as it happened there was no votes in higher food prices so the farmers have ended up subsidizing it themselves...no industry can thrive being helped out by Government...just look at New Zealand

Once you get your head around the fact that it’s not ineptitude in government, but that it’s all by design, and the underlying reasons for their policies have nothing to do with the good of the people, or for the benefit of the environment, it all makes sense. Politicians on all sides want money and power. Farmers out…global corporations in. Their policies seemingly make no sense to us…..but it’s exactly how they want it.
