Your governments are looking for was to produce less crops while paying
farmers more subsidy and importing more food. Most 3 graders can find the
flaw in that. If you are gong to pay the farmer get something you can use
out of him. You don't seem to care what WTO things anyway Take those idle
acres and put them to something you need.



It doesn't make any difference

The number of farmers taking up the scheme will show whether they are

"income forgone" - no explicit salary. What's "income forgone" in a farm

One of our Govt Ministers, Lord Whitty, is already advocating that.
