      They need to realise that a few people in these think tanks that unlikely have any affiliation to the land are pushing governments. Governments are supposed to do what people want not the other way around.
      Avoid the supermarkets as much as possible.
      Farmers should set the price like any other company does not the other way around. Its all upside down.
      Buy local from farm shops. Local small businesses selling fresh vegetables etc, farm markets but not on council land where the council will place a charge.
      Anyone that beleives the rubbish that we are the problem of climate change need to research as there's a load of info out there of how we're lied too on that and many other things.
      There's billions being wasted on the climate nonsense and co2 is at a very low point compared to the past, it's the gas of life not death and co2 follows temperature not the other way around. Cow's are no problem either it's just that big business want us eating bugs and lab grown meat. Sainsbury being one and I've heard that some four has dried bugs in it now, however I cannot confirm this but it really wouldn't surprise me.
      In my mind the people who matter are farmers, Dr's, nurses etc. Yet massive profits are made by the fuel, water, but water companies especially make little investment but make huge salaries, look after their share holders.
      Take a look at Gazza he's shown a lot of corruption.
      I'm sure you know this nonsense is targeted at most of Europe, India, America, Canada au, nz, and I'm sure there are other countries too.
      They want to limit production yet or populations are increasing with migrants. How does that make sense?
      Regards and look up the pffa.

    Anyone that can't see the massive profits that fuel companies, gas, electric, petrol etc make.
    The massive profits the supermarket make as well.
    Have you heard of the PFFA? If you haven't look them up and get in touch with them.
    Dairy farmers should look at selling raw milk, try and have farmers markets but not on council land, use farm yards that are close to towns as much as possible and set up food hubs.
    Remember! Government should work for the people not the other way around..
    Look up geoengineering and that may explain the rain fall.

    I get the contractor is suffering I also get the farmer will use every opportunity NOT to pay the contractor come back end -
    But the underlying issue of always complaining-
