The dilemma is that many farmers are 'asset rich' and sometime 'income poor'.

It doesn't help that for years and years they(the NFU) have 'cried Wolf' about the very low prices they get for their produce - milk being the latest. No doubt at times this is a justified complaint(like milk); but for years they got(and still get) huge subsidies from the Common Market which were convieniently not mentioned.

It is difficult to get an accurate picture of farmer's income.

I won't tell you what the NFU are known as round here...it won't get through the swear filters.

I eat meat, I've eaten meat since I was able to eat it & my last meal on Earth will have meat in it damn it! no lentil eating sandel wearing hippy reject is going to stop me eating meat. So they can stick their nutroast where it belongs & pass me the chicken leg with extra gravy.

You could practice on some of the yobs around here; if caught a plea of 'justifiable homicide' would have merit!
