I guess its part of the whole subsidies which farmers get from both government and the EU. The idea behind this is that if farmers didnt get such support, then they would have to sell their animals, milk etc for a much higher fee to shops and supermarkets in order so they are not operating at a loss due to cost of animal feed, diesel, fertiliser etc-then its people like Norf who would be crying "those bloody farmers, look how much I am paying for a pint of milk, or a fillet of steak-they must be bloody loaded!"
If they weren't "bailed out" as Norf so elequently puts it, it wouldnt just be the farmer who is left out of pocket but, the ordinary man on the street who would have to pay a much higher price for their food!
Surely Norf Tyrone you aren't that naive not realise this given the nature of your locality??
Farmers don't sell their produce to shops for you and me to buy from, they sell them to meat processors, etc, etc where they're royally screwed and we the consumer for these products buy at the butchers at highly inflated prices due to the cartel of the meat producers who after the horse meat scandal really need taken to task if there was enough political will to do so.

Apart from some very light flurries on Saturday, it's been at least 10 days of continuous dry weather around here and the forecast I have gives it to remain dry until Tuesday at least. Nice to have a prolonged dry spell of weather for a change. Certainly if the smell of silage is anything to go by, farmers are taking advantage anyway.
