Do you think you are drawing attention to a significant factor in the
situation, and if so, why?

I've seen the thought expressed on a website, from memory, that "as
long as these unclaimed monetary compensations are not made available
British family farms will continue to disappear". I consider that
hype
unbased in reality, what do you think?

From the figures you and Jim have posted, this would not be sufficient
to *save* loss making businesses. It is very illustrative of our
present
Governments attitude to the farming industry and rural interests.

Bearing in mind the average age of farmers faced with the decision, it
does not read as supportive or caring.

it all makes the governments message to farmers to be entrepenurial look
a bit sick. You have a group of people who are, on average, in their
late fifties and are short of spare capital and tell them to go out
there are start new businesses.

Sounds like they found a buzz word and used it on the first industry
they came to.
