UK farm profitability to jun 2002
Charlie wrote in message ... world shortages and EU aid payments. But celebration would be prematu the bad news is, it is all downhill from here. (The Times, September 27 1996) I wonder if they have ever looked back at this cutting and realised what an absolutely true piece of reporting this was!! If farmers had known what was coming after this I am sure there would be far less about now, most could have sold up then and been better off now if they had never done another days work. Charlie I know one guy with 100 cows who didn't retire in 1992, or thereabouts, but kept on farming. If he had retired his son would have sold up and got out. I reckon that in the ten years since they will have lost £30,000 a year in capital value and made no profits anyway. -- Jim Webster "The pasture of stupidity is unwholesome to mankind" 'Abd-ar-Rahman b.
