Yeah mate, and the rest.

Farmers worldwide are being squeezed between monopoly suppliers and monopoly buyers. With farmers fragmented, they have to be "price takers".
With worldwide governments content to allow food producers to "go hang", food shortages are becoming ever more commonplace. Be it wheat in Africa, rice in India or fresh veg in the UK. Shortages increase profit margins for supermarkets, as evidenced by the consequences of the wheat crisis due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Mass farmer protests are occurring worldwide India, Poland, Germany, France... and generally they are the only course that seems to effective.

So Here is the call for UK farmers to organise! ( Don't bother with the NFU, they are establishment!) Lets set a target date of Good Friday, 29th March 2024 for farmers to drive their tractors to the local MP's local party office. ( Con, Lab, Lib, SNP, PC or whoever)

And maybe join the British Farmers Union while your at it!


Less med's than Pete?

Beware.
I fear that in the UK, the police may arrest them and confiscate their tractors.
I don't think they'll be allowed to cause continental style disruption.

Cheers mate, I just copied that from a popular forum in the UK. I only use hand tools and animals on our little farm, and i'm not taking them, anything can happen in Wales when Joe Public meets a real sheep. They're not happy at all, and the irony is, most would have been for the draconian protest ban. I dislike industrialised farming, but these guys are being continually shafted -- the more people have to pay for food, the less there is for the important rent-seeking and consumption in the UK.

We are an independent country and the Department for Agriculture and Rural Affairs have, for whatever reason, raised the standards required for foodstuffs coming into our country. Meanwhile which farmers are blocking roads, burning stuff and generally causing mayhem ? …..
