Re: Careers in Farming

And then there's the fact that, say in pig farming, a farmer can be looking at £35 loss on every single pig sold.

And they're looking at blue-tongue surviving the winter, which as some farmers have been telling me is far scarier than FMD.

And rising feed prices. And loss of crops due to the floods (eg. 50% of pea harvest destroyed.

It's a scary time for farmers.
