Those who say “I’ve never met a poor farmer” show breathtaking ignorance. The vast majority of farmers are cash poor and with huge production costs. Many live on below minimum wage and work brutal hours.
It’s time for a real acknowledgement and understanding of farming life and an appreciation and gratitude for what they do - providing our food and maintaining the beautiful countryside.
There is an old adage that “we reap what we sow”. This should be the case for farmers - because ultimately, no farmers, no food. Yet the Labour government appear to be hell-bent towards punishing the people who provide our food - farmers. How unbelievably illogically warped of them.

Thanks Natallia, glad you enjoyed it. My examples are just one of many, it’s wrong that food displaying 🇬🇧 on the pack might not be grown in this country.
