Why why WHY do the farmers ALWAYS bleat hard times time and time
again?

Have you ever seen a poor farmer?




There are plenty of them around here, where hill farming of sheep is
the only possibility. Also we know that dairy farmers get less per
lire for their milk than it takes to produce (unless you run a super
farm!).

Then why are they producing it? Something economically wrong there, isn't
there?

Supermarkets provide a ready market for them but dictate the amount they
are going to pay for their produce. One very good reason why farmers are
sometimes desperate.
