Perhaps now they will actually grow something, instead of being paid to let field stand idle, just to keep the prices up.
That's the way they got rid of the food mountains, they paid them to NOT grow anything.... WTF |

That's quite a confusing article. "Year-on-year rise in estimated non-EU net migration of 26,000 to 250,000" (people intending to stay 12 months or longer).
It's probably best to ask a question (not of me!) and then find the result in ONS data, rather than looking at a mash up of all sorts and trying to pick a single answer. |

With reduced supply of European workforce we import more from outside EU. It is an obviously obvious obviousity, or, as some call it, Project Fear.
A little side chuckle is how we're getting rid of white (ex)Christian EU settlers and introduce south- and east-Asian ones. It's wonderful for the current and future richness and diversity of British society, a fact that will surely make many Beautiful Minds overcome with joy. |

Combine that with leaving the edges of fields untouched for several months so that the nice dickie birds can drop from the hedgerow to feast on the grasses. Enter reality: Hedgerows stuffed with berries and shelter. Farmers obliterate the hedgerow in Autumn using flail mowers. No shelter left and no winter food for the dickie birds..
A friend (I have lots of farming friends) was paid £65k to dig a pond. A pond the size of a 5-a-side pitch. A pond where a stream already ran and was wide there anyway. A pond that might get two ducks on for a few weeks.
Another farmer was paid mega bucks to add nematodes to the soil when planting his potatoes. It definitely kept the potato worms at bay. Problem was, once the potatoes were harvested the nematodes had no food and began feasting on what was left in the soil ecosystem.
Long story short that was 24 years ago and the soil is still not good. It's stale, lifeless and smells like old gas pipes when ploughed. Yearly dumpings of manures have not fixed it.
I know of a farmer who doesn't get out of bed until 10 am. He doesn't need to. He has one worker and even that worker is a lazy sod.
The reason? "The dole will pay for anything that doesn't work" he says. Yup - no attempt needed. Subsidies and compensation cover everything.
Same farmer complained to me that this year he could only afford a used Merc estate as a car. It was 4 months old.. |
You are talking shite.
if the hedges wernt trimmed, you'd be moaning you couldn't pass along the footpaths/ your car getting scratched driving along the road.
The margins are usually there to stop run off, i'd much rather we could plough right up to the edge and make the most of the land available, but you do what the rule makers say.
like the rest is just stories you hear off the pissed guy in the pub, like 65k to dig a pond? you really believe that? the only way that would even be real, would be if it was taking storm surges off the hills slowing the flow of water down the valleys to stop people being flooded and whinging at the state for not doing anything, get a better story off your 'farmer' mate. ____________________ '00 Aprilia RS50 > '92 Honda CG > '99 Yamaha Fazer > '91 Yamaha RXS > '79 Suzuki X5 > 01' Honda Cg > 07' Honda Cg > 82' Kawasaki Z200 > suzuki gsxr 400 gk73a > honda vfr 400 NC30> Yamaha RD350 YPVS F2 > Kawasaki ZZR 600 D1 > Yamaha TZR 250 2MA >Suzuki TL1000R > Yamaha TDR250 > Honda 929 blade > Suzuki SV1000 > Honda H100

I have no problem with people moaning about how shite stuff is but I do have concerns if that is the only dimension to their life.
Our favourite plank of 4x2 at least waded into the Workshop threads on occasion to pontificate about 2-strokes and off-road stuff. Whatever your views on "Proposition 476" (as they say in 'murica) if you have a fallback of being able to chat shit about bikes at least there's some neutral, uncontentious, common ground
At last I see a glimmer of hope from General Bike Chat ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
