All of the above - in the UK a farmer is the person who owns and runs the farm - not a farm labourer. They complain about small subsidies but many of their kids go to private school and Uni. I like them. I also shoot with some of them in Autumn.
It has become a predicessor. Basicaslly, that's all they pretty much ever were while walking away from the good news of supply and demand. Then turning their backs once more at the crisis of stocked goods. They won't ever go under, but they will see the truth.
I suppose so, born and bred on a farm, always keep involved with the industry. But unlike most farmers, I'm happy to do any work if it involves driving machines, especially forestry and trucking. :thumbsup:
It's interesting that the old conventional vs organic debate has raised its head again. People think organic animals have flowery meadows and easygoing lives, whereas in fact it's the same as conventional methods, hundreds of cows stuck in a shed all year round, just with less production volume and no medicine. Well, in Britain at least, other countries may have different rules and guidelines. I prefer the lesser known hybrid system. :wave2:
One of the most self-disciplined professions. They're on their own, they don't clock in or out, they work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week regardless of weather. They know how to earn a living and could, therefore, NEVER fit into a union.
I´m a farmer.
I was born and raised on a small family owned farm, after school I moved to the big city, and now, 12 years later I´ve moved back to the farm. I´m going to grow "organic" vegetables.
And, obviously, I´m going to brew my own beer. Lots of it.
