So no fault of the Conservative government then at all. Amazing how the farmers keep quiet when their paymasters are in power but protest the minute they are out of power. Brexit has worked out well for the farmers hasn't it.
Working off of value is a really bad way to do it as German exports are likely worth significantly more than their imports. The values don't represent how much actual food Germany imports/exports
A very good report really. It’s not just inheritance tax that farmers are protesting about though. They will face massively increased tax on fertiliser, pickups and more costs for employing people all because of labour. The torques didn’t do any favours with their terrible trade deals and lack of encouragement for food production but they are far less bad than labours new budget.
No mention that the Australia and NewZealand trade deals have a limited tonnage and when we were members of the EU we had a trade deal with New Zealand for lamb for the last 35 years. The EU have done an unlimited tonnage trade deal with New Zealand and a limited tonnage trade deal with South America.
Interesting data. However, it’s only covering supply which doesn’t look too bad. If we compare it to the demand, due to population increase, then the data wouldn’t look so good. Maybe it should have been ‘how many tonne wheat per capita’. Simply looking at productivity isn’t enough to thoroughly understand the situation.
The EU paid farmers ( scottish perspective here ) to grow trees on land that could of been used to grow food. Because of Green targets it actually was more cost effective not to grow anything we could eat and take a payment from the EU for trees. At least now that's gone they are forced to grow food be that animal or plant.
the UK needs to be able to grow its own food not rely on other countries with larger land masses support our farmers and protect the countryside from Labour Vote them out of everywhere ASAP
Root cause of all this mess was joining the EU in the first place. We used to be a self sufficient, influential Island. Now, we're just an embarrassing mess.
Farmers are an extremely small portion of the voting population. If they alone voted for brexit it wouldn’t have made a difference. It was only because over 50% of the rest of the population voted that we left the EU. Some farmers also certainly did not vote for brexit.
Greedy multimillionaire farmers must pay the same tax we all pay. No tax exemption for farmers. Why should farmers be exempt? Jeremy bought a farm to avoid paying inheritance tax.
Entertainment business reporting: In a 5:22 clip it is not possible to distill the truth about the economics of farming. Nice try Sky, but it would take too long and require too much of the viewer, to explain the problem properly & at the end of the day the consumer, whether directly or indirectly, finds it difficult to move more of their spend to food.

such marvellous Politian's arnt they
Not really - all those things Sam talked about are pre Starmer (Brexit, the terrible trade deals, etc) or global eg climate change
Watch the video. All the issues with farming predate the current government
Its almost as if farmers shouldn't have backed Brexit or something
We should never have joined in the first place.
@craigham93 What. that sinking ship?
Look at France…. Their farmers are always on strike

Brexit. Brexit. Brexit. Tory Party trade deals Come on …… facts is facts. Land has jumped in value. All of which was NOT Labour.
Bollocks graph because it includes as domestic production of half of its dairy and meat is grown on imported feed.
The figures for Germany are incorrect. The country imports food worth 64 billion euros, but exports 74 billion euros. Germany can feed itself 100%.
Working off of value is a really bad way to do it as German exports are likely worth significantly more than their imports. The values don't represent how much actual food Germany imports/exports
@James-tv4pl agreed. And Germany might be exporting a higher value product compared to what they import.

Everyone should grow their own, and we depend too much on government. Get back to basics
Know a farmer, land owner near us has sold some of his land for 160million pounds for 4500 homes to be built on farm land which is used for crops.

We import most of our wheat - we’ll just import more (that is supply and demand).

BACK OUR FARMER PEOPLE
Farmers wanted Brexit.
Farmers voted for this.
Everyone else is suffering for it.
Do your homework then speak if every farmer in uk voted out it would still only amass 1/3rd of votes who supplied the other 20 odd million ?
Root cause of all this mess was joining the EU in the first place.

It 58% of farmers voted brexit not 100% mate.
...England is half the size of France. Can someone point that out?
We can produce food without farms
Sure... it's not about the tax...
"How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!"

Somewhere to live, or a few potatoes. Decisions decisions …..
