Will you roll your sleeves up and farm the land?
They can't farm for subsidies....the government won't let them.
They are told what land they can farm...the dormant land is wasted.
Would you work for nothing?
If a farmer has four arable fields and can only use two how the hell can you expect him to make a living?
If you owned a garage or a productive workshop who had four buildings to employ your staff and make a living and the government told you to close two of the buildings, would you be happy........I doubt it?
