Yep, you (UK) are so close to cheap producers, I guess, where we are so far away from anything (except the tropics not only that but if I planted broadleaves, my biggest worry was some environmental group would get tree preservation orders or similar slapped on them and i would never be able to fell them anyway, which makes their use as a crop pretty damned suspect You wonder what those buggers eat. Don't they realise that all food comes from farmers? surely you know by now that food comes from supermarkets! Damn! I forgot that. I remember listening to the BBC radio when they had a Harvest festival and the clergy man asked the congregation to pray for the aid agencies who fed everyone Good one! Thing that staggers me is how little of a pint of milk or a pound of beef you producers actually get. You lot seem to supply a cheap raw material for every other bugger to cop a markup on. I know you've tried to take action on this, but I suppose there is always a farmer in the next village who is hungrier and will cave in. You need something like a builders' union or a miners' union. Big and powerful that can fund you for a three month strike. |
