The funny thing is I've sat in the local and heard farmers moaning about dole scroungers in one breath, and then comparing subsidies in the next.

I find your remarks on farmers totally true - but not through their own doing necessarily. If you were offered money, I'm sure you would take it. The smaller farmers, like my father and myself, have all left the fold as the payments are not enough to live off if you have less than 300 acres. However, if you have 500 acres or more and a crafty accountant than there are enough payment schemes to keep you in Range Rovers for life. My father always said he did best under a Labour government anyway.

Maybe yes, pay farmers to reforest land or maintain it as natural meadow. Create some new national parks. It would benefit tourism, green and organic industries and increase biodiversity.

As a nation we should aim to be self sufficient. It takes many times it own weight in fuel to bring kiwi fruit to the UK. Can this be good for the enviroment.

UK food imports in 1994 - 20 million tonnes. I'm sorry I don't have more up to date figures, but I'm sure someone could supply them?
