For Christ Sake please don't bring Farmers into the equation. That will be the Farmers, who get up at the crack of Noon, spend the next three hours filling out their subsidy claims, then three hours driving their trackors at 5mph along the main roads, to frustrate the local motorists, after that, straight in the Pub at 6 o'clock to bemoan how bad done to they are by the Goverment. They say you never see a Farmer riding a bike, if you did it would be a Harley Davidson. What a cossetted group they are. They produce a product nobody wants, at a price nobody wants to pay, then say "Look Mr Goverment I can't make a profit, you will have to give me financial help. No other industry would ever get the protection they get, they would go, and have, to the wall first. Before any one contests what I said, please be aware I live in a rural area and see this first hand. Farmers , salt of the earth, complete Bollox Pete.
