@theladyfarmer For most the march is about low profitability, lack of support from the government over trade,NI, removal of delinked payments, food security, slow rollout of SFI and its uncertain funding. IHT is simply the final straw that has come at what’s already a difficult time for farmers
Just sold a load of wheat out of the shed (admittedly wet, 16.5%) that we have no room to store. For a price of £165. Making some of the SFI options look impossible to ignore. No point in growing vast quantities of a product that’s not in demand. Strange times.
People in hysterics over tomatoes: this is where they come from and this is why eating out-of-season fruit and veg that is intensively grown for a global market is bad for their local ecology and environment. Farming Twitter: not getting toms in Feb isn't a 'food shortage' 🙄
