good episode.

Well done

I will just NOT take the chance seeing ALL the BS from governments and big corporates around today...never forget 2020 and the forced interventions. As for gates...he reminds me of that nutty professor ...just DONT trust him or the WEF at all.

We hear a lot about what's wrong with Government policy, but I'd like to know what you'd suggest as policy, you've reiterated the clarion call for 'cheap food for the poor', but how would you see that enacted? American policy is to questionably maximise production vs UK policy to questionably maximise environmentalism. What would be your fine grained approach to subsidies? The UK cannot compete on price or quantity, your thesis seems to be that relying on imports is a bad idea so we should subsidise domestic production (I agree with this), if you were to advise the government, what support structure would you devise?

Great idea getting the insta active. I’ve gone to follow. All the best 🧡

OFC = Corporate production arrogantly thinking they feed people when they pay shareholders at huge external cost. ORFC = Smaller farmers (and sadly too many non farmers) looking for answers to save their farms, produce real food that minimises external costs. OFC Ticket £500 ORFC ticket £100 I saw very many videos of Thursdays Farmers protest in Oxford and not a single tractor did I see like the MF you are leaning on...... We thought about going with our old Zetor!

Shame on Henry Tufnell. Well done you.

Why arent the peaceful farmers arrested like other peaceful protestors?

One policy of increasing value here in the USA may be of interest to you. Some time ago, food support for those in need was placed within the Agriculture Dept., and the Ag Commitees of our Congress- initially, this was because the programs were seen as a way of dumping surplus commodities into the mouths of the poor. Later the transfers were made into a cash voucher system. About a decade ago, 'SNAP' as we call it, was newly allowed to be spent at actual Farmers Markets, which have now moved into some of these blighted neighborhood 'food deserts'. This gives small scale growers a better market opportunity, and the poor get better foodstuffs brought right into their own neighborhoods.

What happened to your tractor, has it been rolled? the hard nose and cab look a bit off.

The great thing is rumin8 is more effective and is derived from seaweed which means this whole issue doesn’t even matter if we just ensure the superior product makes it to the market

nice jacket oli, i have a similar one but not as rugged as yours

The Oxford real farming conference is for farmers who want to learn from other farmers, the Oxford Farming Conference is mostly for the farming service industry to lobby and promote their interests by the looks of things, the Oxford real farming conference is significantly bigger and there definitely was not a lot of sandals on display but then it was a cold couple of days

Someone I know who is very much on the anti-farmer left posted an old newspaper article throwing the fact farmers diversified by renovating barns, etc, back at them!! It was laughable - dammed if you do dammed if you don't. Most of what he posts is from environmentalists with a neo-colonialist idea on food supply. While we 'rewild' & build more houses other countries can feed us.

Morrisons only backed us as there largest depo in the south west was blocked by 50 tractors.

I diversified back in the 1970s its call survival. Never made a living form farming, its a hobby.

Excellent stuff, what was Steve’s reply? And I thought teresa Coffey was the worst ES, Steve really is the pits!

Hi Ollie, I don’t think your listeners/viewers are bored of your commentary on current government policy: it’s both interesting and very current.

There is nothing Rt Honourable about Steve Reed, he has to be the worst Environment Secretary we have ever had. The NFU should have spoken up as you did at the conference regarding Steve Reed's disgusting comments alluding to a farmer suffering from mental illness without knowing the facts. Usually, when pressed for details on incidents, politicians are keen to distance themselves by saying they cannot comment on individual cases yet, in this instance, Steve Reed instantly labelled it as a mental health issue, without knowing a single fact about those involved, just so that he can distance himself from any blame.

Sadly Starmer is incredibly authoritarian in the the party, look how he has treated the left, steve reed knows if he stood up for farmers against Starmer he'd be out. Also the Tories have fucked everything. We had 2 rare elections were positive change was on offer and the country rejected it. Now look at us

Hi Oli....the wooly ones look like they are enjoying the cold dry conditions......better than our usual "dreich" (cool damp windy) maritime conditions....the last few weeks have been an artic blast....up in Jockland....(all my cattle are outside)....we have had about 6 inches of snow and -10 deg C.....now be ready for the big melt and floods..... you are correct...politicians talk the talk.....but rarely walk the walk....meanin gactions speak louder than words....thus far....our esteemed Labour government have done nothing to improve the lot of farmers and food producers...quite to the contrary. these farming conferences....i feel....are a lot of BS.....corporates and big farmers...(who are frequently in the pockets of both government and corporates and assurance bodies).....saying how good they are...did i mention the NFU....i will try not to swear too much....the fundamental question....corporates / MPs/ NFU who do they represent and where does their allegiance ly? i could spend pages (many of my comments get mysteriously deleted.....??).....stating the current mess UK agriculture is in....there is light at the end of the tunnel....(i have spent a lot of time in France and visited both Hungary and Romania.....which is relevant....) direct selling ........every French town has a daily market, little villages have a market once or twice per week.....same in Hungary and Romania....when i was in Budapest somem years ago....me and girlfriend....went into a massive hall....all small stalls...an indoor farmers market...open every day....e,g. potatoes....fill your bag out of a 1 tonne tattie box..... in UK we have been succured into comodity production and selling to third parties....(open market where price pressure is always downwards...think milk....)....ok i admit if you produce 5000 tonnes of grain a year...direct selling is not an option....(direct to a distiller or brewer perhaps)......but most farmers are really small producers.....time UKk agri stated to think out of the box.....and bypass third parties and supermarkets....where possible .....direct to consumers..... keep up the good work.....😎

Or if you want something visual, that's not too abysmal We could take in an old Steve Reed movie.

Hi Oli. Great to see you again. Loved what you said at The Farmers Weekly talk, saying Reed should resign. Brilliant summary of Reed’s stupid speech. Shame you mention the group Vegans Support the Farmers. They really don’t 😂

The determination of farmers to keep at what can only described as a labour of love (since the easy money is in selling the land to build houses on) and to protest in the most polite and unassailable way possible is inspiring, and the fact that chains like Morrisons are starting to publicly support farmers might show - hopefully - that the momentum is shifting

Only just found your channel this week but I’ve been binging all the videos so far. Loving the content and its remarkably high production quality especially given the size of the channel, I definitely see and hope the audience will grow going forward. It’s been really interesting and helpful learning the history/economics and realities of farming in this country. Given I live in what I would call the countryside I feel my knowledge of the industry is lacking so you’ve been a great help. Lovely video this week despite not being quite as technical as yours usually are, I’m glad to hear you’re getting a good audience outside of the channel and I also love hearing your views on current politics, I never knew who Reed was til you mentioned. Keep making great content Oli!

Morriston are part of the problem and are trying to reposition themselves. That's how it looks to me anyway.

For Reed and the rest of the ruling class, you are (or should be) just a lot of Kaleb Coopers. And they don’t care if the working class has cheap food anymore either. They think they can brazenly lie to you, since it’s an urban nation now. PS That coat looks very comfortable. ‘Farmer Chic,’ or perhaps ‘Nouveau Scarecrow.’

Your straight forward take on this good on you

"This is not something that the government is telling anyone else in this country to do." Disagree. I think much of the public sector is now being run on this basis. Real pay was held down for fourteen years, to the point where you mostly cant support a family on those salaries anymore, and now they are having to move people to four day weeks in order to recruit and retain. Isn't that exactly the same message?

Sorry Oli but I look at you in your fancy Barbour jacket leaning against you shiny new Lamborghini tractor all the while disparaging Steve Reed while the poor man laments in his shabby suit.

And an inheritance tax on working capital is just another word for asset seizures and dispossession. Or rather "Theft!" Besides the fact that it is triple taxation (we pay income tax when we get money and VAT when we spend money, and on top of that lots of other taxes).

Food needs to be subsidized and managed. A totally free market leads to a glut in good years and to famine and high prices in bad years. Only if society gets together, accepts that farms need to be subsidized so that they get a minimum price and can survive and accepts that food at the grocers needs to be valued, but affordable for the normal person.

DRAMA

Socialising makes me tired too.

Young brother, if we study the history as Farmer’s what we begin to realize is that the very nature of concentrated power centers itself in the urban centers. By creating larger and larger bureaucracies, and then the service industries to support the people employed within their bureaucracies and their militaries they are all parasitic on those few of us were actually producing. Therefore, inevitably they have to be on the side of, supporting the people in the urban centers in order to maintain their power. There’s no way that they can represent us in their arguments because in reality we don’t need them if all of these people were to go away and with any luck, perhaps they will then we can get on with our lives, and start growing food and creating vibrant economies amongst ourselves while the people in the city sit there in the dark and starve to death until they begin to eat each other, and then the politicians can represent the corpses and the zombies as we get on with life

Hey Oli, I saw you on the thumbnail for a GBNews UA-cam video from about 4 weeks ago 😉

I like your videos as you're as real as they get. Power to you for taking the opportunity to say what others wouldn't say. They are also very informative. Keep up the great work, Oli.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you vote for a party MP you get an incompetent cretin who's only allegiance is to the party. We must start voting for competent independent candidates to ensure their allegiance is to their constituents.

Excellent video Oli I saw the segment on Joe's update Think your honesty on the panel shone through for sure Typical 2tier government, setting 2 figures for 1 commodity, where they win on both accounts Keep doing what you're doing Back UK Farmer's 🇬🇧 Geoff

first

This video is unbelievably naive. The "yay science!" crowd just lap up anything and everything thrown their way without question. Spinless fools.

Excellent video

We might live long lives if we can get good food. Hm...

American agricultural policy is simple: Food without Farmers. The viability of even medium sized farms has cratered and food production has become a function of hyper leveraged massive farms with near slave wage immigrant labor. This does an incredible job of making the cheapest food possible at the expense of every other factor in the analysis.

You should re record this entire video word for word, but sat on a gate in a smock with an ear of wheat hanging out the corner of your mouth in the most ridiculous west country accent imaginable. Ending a long , intelligently thought out theory with a oooh arrr ! :), Seriously though, just found your channel and you give some very interesting insights into a wide range of matters that barely get discussion. Keep up the good work

Years ago someone decided to fiddle around with cow food. It caused mad cow disease in cows and humans. The problem was solved after enough people DIED. By the way mr. Gates is a criminal who has been thrown out of a few african countries, and is considered undesirable.

As an Ottomanaboo I weep thinking about the potential a long lasting British-Ottoman alliance could have had and I wake up every day cursing Gladstone. In this house we don't say the name Disraeli without prefacing it with "The Right Honorable".

I just signed the petition. How many times over the decades have we been given assurances of new drugs and additives being safe and effective only to be told ten years later, quite a different story? At least label all products containing dairy made with cows fed with additives. I suggest ☣ Biohazard 🤮 vomiting signs.

If Bovaer is safe, then why trial it? The thing is, allergies and cancers are going through the ceiling. Our bodies run on chemicals and with the tampering of the food over the decades, we all consume more and more chemicals, and a greater range of those too. Clearly the "experts" do not understand the effects of these chemicals on our bodies, because if they did, they would alter these in the food chain that reduced/eliminated allergies and cancers.

I had a rented holding some 300 acres with barns. It is now layed down to go wild and the barn s are full of classic cars. It was a productive farm once now only has a80 sheep. There are so many farms and estates that seem to use the land to offset their guilt for damage over the world through their industrial activity.
