  • In the hills of North Wales, farmers have been heavily affected by Brexit. How will it change their vote on 4 July?
    Britain’s departure from the European Union led to seismic changes in agricultural policy and support for farmers across the UK, ending European subsidy schemes and ushering in new trade deals.

      Some farmers need to change their mindset. They are too conservative to do it on their own. It is sad they can't learn from our developing understanding of plant types and soil health. They might spend time learning about which plants can share what genetic data with which plants and work on strategies to develop seed selections that result in force multiplication benefits without competing with cash crops..this is however effort and it's so much easier to use wide scale antibiotics and cides

    Nice to see the report kept as neutral as possible. But everywhere you look, there is evidence of self inflicted harm. Whether its the damage to the UK economy, our lost freedom to live and work in 27 neighbouring countries, the tariffs and delays at out ports. I know we have moved away from inconvenient-fact based dialog on where we go from here. But given that we get the chance to change our minds on who runs the country every few yeas, isn't it about time we were given the opportunity to show if we want to remain outside the EU or start to bring back closer ties to our neighbours?! I'll be honest here, I want to live in Southern Italy most of the year and part of that would be to export British goods to Italy and import Italian goods to the UK. And while I can move to Italy (its difficult but possible), the rest is virtually a non starter. I am lucky to have friends all over Europe and I consider myself a European, I voted remain, not because the EU was perfect, but because I felt it was the better of the two options. And we could, as we always have, influenced the decisions made from within. I still believe it is in everyones best interests to region our friends and neighbours on mainland Europe. Here's hoping a new government will start to look more favourably on closer ties and be honest about the pros and cons for a change.

    Trouble with farmers is they are running out of people from anywhere on the planet who want to do their backbreaking work for peasant wages in deplorable conditions. Little to do with Brexit and a lot to do with the greed of farmers.
    First British farmers depended on the Irish till the 1990s, then the portuguese in the 1990s, Poles in the 2000s, and Bulgarians in the 2010s. All those groups stopped working on farms not because they are 'lazy' as the media loves to accuse british people of being (and presumably anyone who refuses to work on a farm) but because literally any other job is less physically demanding, better paid, and usually offers year round job security.
    Now we have Nepalis and Kazakhs working the fens. And in time they too will find better paid jobs rather than a bunch of sadistic, profiteering, fat on subsidies farmers who refuse to pay a decent wage befitting such a miserable job.

    It's very difficult for ordinary people to identify with farmers. I live in the countryside in Norfolk. And in all honesty I don't have much sympathy for the farmers round here as they go past in their brand new £80k Land Rovers and the like. I appreciate that Welsh hill farmers might be in a different position. But also when the first guy interviewed talks as though inflation hasn't affected us, he's had it much much worse, again it shows a lack of understanding for ordinary people. Inflation has affected everybody and arguably normal people more than farmers. Our wages haven't gone up, yet the price of food in the supermarkets has. As agricultural feed costs have increased, so the cost of the produce has increased, which to some extent must have mitigated the effects of inflation for the farming industry.

    People will easily say you voted for this and got what you voted for, which is perfectly true for the nations as a whole. a tiny minority voted to leave and the rest of us along with a majority just too lazy to go out and vote got shafted but here's the thing, by the time anyone got around to asking Farmers how Brexit affected the way they might vote the Tory Party could not have cared any less what the farmers thought.
    They had managed to gaslight the people of the nation into throwing away everything they actually needed for basically a pack of lies and that included Farmers who really did get shafted and will continue to be shafted until we rejoin the EU but it's not that simple either.
    It was the way that EU subsidies were distributed in the Uk that had the greater influence on how Farmers voted originally, they were being screwed and they knew it but not by the EU, They were told by the Tory Party that there wold be a new fairer system brought in to replace EU subsidies but like everything else the unholy Brexshiteers had no intention of keeping those promises at all.
    The Tory Party has paid the price for those lies and rightly so but it was not the Farmers that brought that about, it was the people who did for the Tories, Farmers in general will as they have habitually done continue to vote Tory and always will particularly those that benefitted from what the Tory Party did and their attitude has always been screw you jack I'm alright.

In the uplands of England, Wales and Scotland the farms are often small, family owned, raising mostly sheep. They work very hard for very little money and are utterly dependent on subsidies. In lowland England by contrast the farms are arable, much larger, require a lot less work and are very profitable. They are increasingly owned by private equity companies and run by professional managers. Most of the work is done by contractors. These farms did very well out of the Common Agricultural Policy.

    Many Arable farmers in England probably voted for it.
    The day of the referendum, Wheat was worth £120/tonne. The day after, £160.
    Had Remain won, it would have dropped to £90!
    That would have been me ‘bust’ instantly!
    All due to exchange rates.
    Unfortunately the CAP never was even to all to all its farmers over the entire EU. The British farmers were always paid far less than many other EU countries.
    Cyprus (the Greeks side), for instance got over 2.5 times/acre that we got. Which was to rip out there crops and grow nothing, ploughing it annually and leaving it bare as soil.
    Nowhere in nature does soil want to grow nothing. It physically destroys soil not to grow at least something, including weeds.
    Meanwhile the on the Turkish side of Cyprus (not in the EU), agriculture thrives!

    It’s about time British farmers stop complaining about Australian farmers and come and see how sheep and cows are farmed (or look on UA-cam).
    Why can Australian farmers produce cheaper meat. Sheep and cows spend all their time grazing outside (not in a shed). Some farmers in Australia do not use supplementary feed.
    Just ask someone who has visited Australia: do they say it was cold and miserable outside in summer, when they went to a supermarket, was there grass fed and hormone free meat on the supermarket shelves.
    But the most ironic part is that British farmers find that livestock on a truck in Australia is not acceptable but have no problem with livestock being trucked across Europe.
    But what is biggest ironic thing they did was stop getting EU payments then complain how they can’t complete with European farmers (I don’t know if people in the UK notice that British farmers can’t even compete with European farmers and British farmers have not even come up against Australian farmers, yet).
    Just to make everyone in Britain feel even better. You know that lady in Australia, Gina Rinehart, you know the one, she is the Australian biggest ion ore miner, she is also one of the world’s biggest cattle producers and is going to flood the UK with her hormone free, grass fed wagyu beef.

The farmers subsidy payments are what has kept farming going in the UK but has also kept the prices in supermarket down , you remoaners dont reallise that or refuse to.
