I will point out a few places that they are reaching deep in the farmers purse. Gordon points to a few of his usual suspects Britain's farmers receive about £3 billion UKP in direct subsidies and pricing support each year. Match that, if you can. If you are gong to pay the farmer get something you can use out of him. I think you mean get -more- out of him for the money. But what? You don't seem to care what WTO things anyway Take those idle acres and put them to something you need. Sorry, we can't do it if WTO says it is wrong. Commitments, you know. Maybe you should close him down and put is stuff on display and pay him a curator and by all you food from the low bidder. Yes. -That- would be according to WTO rules, afaik. |
