Fallow fields are to be reopened.
Farmers are still to be paid subsidies to do the above, to look after the land and the green areas.

Wealthy farmers and landowners with large holdings are making a lot of money but they are not the ones who roll their sleeves up and get the job done.

If farmers and producers are allowed to market their own produce and not rely on supermarkets to buy the produce at their own price.

We have been an island fortress so they say....the way things have been going with the demise of the farming community we would have to rely on producers outside the UK for food the can be and is produced in this country?

Are you in favour of these changes or against....and why?
