The message
from "'Mike'" contains these words:

and the final question is .......


'Have you ever seen a poor Farmer?'


NO


'Crying wolf' come to mind


I suggest you come to Wales and meet some hill farmers. Just look at the
suicide rate for farmers and the reasons for suicide and you'll soon
realise that there are terible promlems in the industry.

I'm not saying that all farmers are poor, those with enough capital and
expertise can flip between modes of farming to squeeze every available
subsidy going.
