Farming is a cycical bussness. If we ran and hid at every down market you

But that isn't the point. UK had in 1996 a farm income peak, the
highest in 20 years. The Times could see what would come after, so why
couldn't the farmers.

How would you have managed the situation? Sold and run?

You mean, sell my hypothetical UK farmland? Hell no, David, no way,
not in 1996, just a few years after the CAP reform :-)
