DIDO.1 22,846 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Why would farming be in trouble without the eu? It's not eu subsides they get.....it's our f***ing money! Give me £500 a month and I'll subsidise your business £100 a month....would you be f****d without me? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BIGLURKS 874 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 The biggest thing that always bugged me about the farming sector is why we are not growing are own food and selling are own here and exporting the rest that's not needed when you start too hear stories of us exporting lamb but we bring in lamb from the likes of nz is the daftest shit I ever heard I can understand why we would need too import grain and such and the price varies so much depending on the crops from other countries but why the supermarkets are not buying as much from brittish farmers and importing shit is beyond my thinking of being greedy and always wanting a better price but could it have an astronomical effect if brittish farmers were too get paid a fair price instead of getting subsides I think us as the people would end up footing a higher food shopping bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not the public won't pay, most on minimum wage cannot afford to pay. Most of the imported veg etc is stuff grown out of season in some far climes, eg; runner beans from Africa all winter, kiwi fruit from NZ all year round. We eat seasonally, unless its frozen from the garden. Don't eat Winter veg throughout the summer Swede, Parsnips, leeks, savoy cabbage, sprouts etc, etc. By the same token frozen runner beans apart we don't eat summer veg though the winter. If people eat seasonally more often there would be less call for imported veg and less waste of the seasonal veg that is grown and rejected by supermarkets on some pretext or other.

Onlyworkmatters 1,584 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 We'd need a total overhaul of farming, we could use the £55 million a DAY we fork out to the eu to help farmers if absolutely necessary until they got it sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TC Don't agree you TC on the can't afford to pay, KFC and a 2l of coke 15 euro...traceable beef and spuds to feed the same amount cost less but you have to cook it.....consumers now buy on price in shops, unless your adding value to your product, convenience, quality, healthier options, no loyalty anymore. But i agree with you on the seasonality aspect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
