THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING

We believe a new policy direction must now be taken in order to protect our homegrown food security and to ensure the thriving continuation of British agricultural production through independently owned family farms throughout the British countryside.

State control of agriculture as practiced in the communist production model leaves the people of these countries dependent and subservient to the will of their governments, as agricultural autonomy decreases and control consolidates into fewer hands the risk of starvation caused by incompetence or hostile authoritarian power grows.

We must maintain our traditional family farm agricultural production model, we must enshrine this in any new policy along with protection for homegrown food security and non-politically coercive financial support for British farming as FIRST PRINCIPLE.

The age of globalism is over, the economic and social destruction wrought upon us by net zero has awakened the people to the dystopian future that the self-appointed leaders of the World Economic Forum and the United Nations have in store for us.

The freedom loving sovereign people of the British Isles will have no part in it, we are born free and hold our self-determination as a nation to be an inalienable right, this principle along with our history, culture, sense of fair play and belief in the democratic process of representation make us who we are today. The age of nationalism is upon us and our agricultural reform bill will be unapologetically in the best interest of Great Britain, its people and its farming families.

Here are some of the issues that farmers are facing.

Please feel free to add/comment so we can build our knowledge for agricultural reform solutions.

  1. No minimum price protection from the government for British grown produce against cheap foreign imports (often grown to lower welfare/environmental standards, intensive Brazilian beef lots etc).
  2. No minimum price protection from the government for British farmers against price fixing from profiteering supermarkets or any meaningful application of regulatory powers to prevent price suppression.
  3. No meaningful union representation, the NFU is nothing more than a net zero compliant corporate lobby group and no longer represents grassroots farming in the UK.
  4. The already meager Basic Payment Subsidy Scheme has been replaced with 3 politically coercive Environmental Land Management schemes all of which can be summed up as ‘Go Green Or Get Nothing’.
  5. No land devaluation compensation for farmers converting farmland to woodland under any of the ELM subsidy schemes. Agricultural land which was worth £12,000 an acre becomes worth £3,000 an acre overnight.
  6. No help during the ‘Cost Of Production Crisis’ which has seen inputs costs soar compared to output sales prices. According to the AHDB (Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board) in the 12 months from Sept 21 to Sept 22 fertiliser costs went up 250%, farm energy costs were up 90% and feedstuff up 50%, by contrast farmers managed to just get 30% extra for their crops.
  7. No low interest government financing available to help farmers make ends meet or to renew machinery and infrastructure or to fund diversification projects which are often needed because many farms need supplementary income due to low commodity prices.
  8. Farm property or other assets developed for diversification enterprises should qualify for Inheritance Tax Agricultural Relief not be excluded from it.
  9. A full review of political coercion in grant and subsidy support scheme must be undertaken. The overwhelming budget bias for Rewilding/Net Zero target schemes or for Robotics/Automation or for the ominous sounding ‘Future Of Food’ when compared to funding levels for everyday requirements such as machinery renewal cannot be ignored or left to continue.
