NEWKID 27,124 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well this thred didn't end up where I thought it would.... I honestly thought as it ran it'd be about the land, not the animals farmed on it.... Personally, I really don't give a flying feck about farm animal husbandry.... Let some other fecker worry about half starved cows and chickens that don't see light and I don't give a feck about halal slaughter either... That bollox stopped me subscribing to EDRD, as I was sick and tired of DH banging on about it..!!! And all that cheffy shite too, as much as I used to like 'ol Hugh FW, i'm sick and tired of him and Oliver telling me that I should eat the very best of reared meat and that I should pay more for the privilege... Feck that right off... If anyone thinks, I'm eating beans on toast all week to pay £40 for a piece of beef, or £15 a chicken for my Sunday roast, not a chance.... It may taste better to those who can afford to compare but that Aldi chook will taste just fine cooked right with all the trimmings... I love good food BUT I'm not a food snob... What worries me about large farms, is the fact that they will see the smaller ones go under and the land be sold for housing etc.... And for someone who has spent all these years grubbing round farmland in the pursuit of critters to hunt, that would be a fecking travesty. I'd hate to see those horrible manky farms be lost from our countryside... You know the ones, ancient rusting machinery everywhere, potholes on the tracks that could shake the bolts out of a Sherman tank. Manky, shite crusted stock in tumble down sheds and barns that house more TB ridden badgers at night than cows! Fields, that in winter even the best motocross lunatics in the world would never get across and best of all, that bow legged, old boy... Holes in every item of clothing, teeth like walnuts as he smiles, because you've made the trip, to rid him of your favorite quarry and for that, him and his equally downtrodden wife will present you with a dozen 'real' free range eggs from the worst looking chickens you've ever seen..! That's the type of farm thats the most interesting, thats the type of farm thats the best for results... Not that stylized utter wank that we are fed by the smug tosser Adam on 'c**t'ryfile', with his rare breed bollox diversity and his clinical life.... He's never used bailing twine to hold his kecks up..!!! Nah, give me a 'midden ridden paradise' where I can do as I please.... :laugh: Great post Right down to the bailing twine on trousers, f**k I've been there enough times My childhood hunting ground was a great farm to go around, just as you described......... now it's a f**k off great tescos, the farmer made a fortune (a good few mil) selling the land, he'd never have made that amount farming that's for sure. Unfortunately money talks, we can all be as romantic as we like, but in the end there's not many that resist the lure of a quick buck, 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, give me a 'midden ridden paradise' where I can do as I please.... :laugh: getting fewer and farther between, theres still a few in the time warp around here, but rules,regulation's and red tape covered inspectors eventually broke there backs when BSE struck. all farms and small holdings were sterilised and polished like new buttons, theres still the few die hards with their corrugated tin shanty towns but more often than not the white van with the blue sign-age will be seen parked outside the gates and another will be sold and turned into horse utopia with an endless line of potential six year old Olympic competitors that will loose interest in twelve months or so when they discover the next Justin Beiber. the fact is the countryside is being sanitised and changed at an alarming rate and like the likes of us who hunt now are going to be squeezed into ever shrinking pockets. We must be lucky down here then, most of the farms I go on are still "traditional", apart from a f***ing great solar farm, couple of hundreds of acres of panels, but the money that makes is unreal..... all fenced in, security to the eyballs and full of rabbits Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No grass just silos with.

Farm the land and rear beef as it should be , Create a dust bowl like the yanks plant vast desterts of wheat with gps combines , , Who needs the. Farmers any c**t can drive Sell the land for housing , lazy fat twats farmers any way , Build wind farms every were and drill for gas Make every moto way 18 lanes wide Sort out the traffic , build on every green belt just keep the lakes, and snowdonia and the odd bit for.

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I would hazard a guess that this is being sponsored, promoted and supported by the big supermarket chains. They will then boast in their sales pitch that their produce is sourced from one local farm etcThat makes me laugh and all. M&S source their organic gold turkeys from a farm down the road from me and boast they are from a 'small' farm. The farm has sheds in all the fields for miles and miles and turn over 100's of 1000's of birds every year, if not 1000000's.. I love the organic myth! It's 100% pure politics. People have been fed the notion that organic will save the animals, the people, and the planet. It's only when you see what conditions you have to fulfil to be organic that the myth collapses completely! Organic is like scientology... You pay a f**k tonne of money to feel better about yourself, and when you realise you're a fool you attempt to justify your cult by threats and intimidation! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

potpoacher 27 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 government expect us to eat this superhealthy-nofoodmiles-reallyorganic-massivelyexpensive food when they try to make slaughter laws etc. as difficult as possible? they make it hard for us to sell excess produce or process it ourselves because of elfnsafety? they try their hardest to make hunting difficult when that is where the best meat comes from? if their not carful, some of us may do it illegally and start our own slaughter houses under cover, process food in unregistered kitchens and sell the end product completely ignoring all regulations. and then to top it all we will keep any profits and stuff paying taces?!?!?!?!

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 If the government push an agenda it's because it makes them money. Someone's either lobbied for it, or it'll increase their tax revenues. If you happen to live a little longer, then you'll pay more to them over your life in taxes. It really is win, win for them. I just can't stand the fact they they feel the need to legislate the requirements for us to live our lives. If I want to drink, smoke, f**k, and eat a kebab it's between consenting adults and it's no business of anyones. As always not enough people give enough of a shit to change it, so we end up being ruled. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 The meat here may be crap but the fish and seafood kicks ass Ye and most of that comes from our shores we produce some of the best meat beef lamb etc in the world never mind europe. , The health of a nation can be gauged on the food that it eats The increace in bowl and stomach cancers are slowy. Being linked to the steroids used in beef and pork grow faster get rich quick methords . Pesticdes have reecked havoc , organic in modiration can work , thereare parts of cal ifornia that have to import bees and incects to polinate and control other incects as there mass spraying for decades has wiped out natural control. , If we carry on with the relentless destruction of incects the whole ecosystem will collapse , Genetic engeneering of crops and animals made to suit factory farms are allready on the horizon. Organic mad men nope. There more that survive the better the more natural the product the better , We are destroying the food chain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
