Sorry but I have no sympathy for this whinging whatsoever. If you
don't
like your lifestyle then change it !
most of us are.
We have rejigged the business twice in pretty major ways. Both times in
response to economic situations created entirely by government/EU
action. Both times it worked and in both cases was then rendered void by
new government action.
The problem is this takes time, and our third rejigging will probably
take another two or more years because agriculture works over that sort
of time scale.
Remember with agriculture that 'walking away tomorrow' can take over a
year, especially if, like most farmers, you have some tenancy
agreements.
