      Paying more to workers (which is supposed to be the norm), means more money in cost of production which in turn leads to increased food prices.
      What will be left is paying a lot more for British food, or buying cheaper imported food.
      Germany still employs cheap Labour form other EU countries and their food will be a lot cheaper even with the import tax to the UK.
      Whichever way it goes, the British farmers seem like they will be on the receiving end of the….and not in a good way.
      The question is, are you ready to pay a lot more for your food?

    • @BigPlasticPlant
      @BigPlasticPlant Před 2 lety +2

      kole ivy Yeah, that’s how industry tends to work at the moment.... a business will only function if the cost of production is less than the market value of the product. It’s difficult when your own government pulls the rug from under your market though, must be upsetting.
      But then again my sympathy stops when it comes to farmers like Tom here, Tom is “on the receiving end” of brexit because it is exactly what he asked for, Tom did his research and looked at the landscape of his business and decided other factors were more important for the future of the country, obviously, because we know Tom didn’t cast an uninformed vote based on shock value headlines and the rhetoric of an angry little non MP parading around the country.

      However with the issue raised in the video, British farmers will still be at a loss.
      Other European countries still employ cheap labour, and their food will be way cheaper even after import.
      Consumers are likely to gravitate towards that.

      She wasn’t blaming America ; listen. They have very different farming ( more industrialised) methods which lead to huge farms and cheaper meats . This is at ( I feel) significant loss to the environment and animal welfare. Often these mega farms are owned by companies and not families with a personal investment in their stock and land welfare. In part , this is already happening; as farmers sell up and are sometimes bought up by meat producers. This means that legislation and grants that are meant to support farmers help maintain the environment, will become mute; as those farmers go out of business, as other parts of government become less supportive of them.

      When New Zealand experienced 'Brexit' (loss of UK markets when the UK joined the EEC) it was a disaster. Many farmers were forced off the land, land use changed dramatically, there were 5-10 years of very troubled times. In the end the farming sector didn't shrink, in fact it became larger, more efficient and able to compete on a world stage.
      Smaller farms still survive in New Zealand, but only by specialising in niche markets (world's best Wasabi for example).
      Anyway I would say 'changed' rather than 'destroyed'. The UK has as much high-quality farmland as New Zealand and should do well.

    I think the best description of Brexit would be from before the 2019 general election. A member of the Brexit party went on the radio to discuss his platform, and he went on a tub-thumping rant about how when we left the EU (with no deal because no deal is the best deal) the first thing he would do is rip up all the EU laws which prevented us giving money to needy British children. The interviewer then asked him which laws he was talking about.
    The man paused for a full 10-15 seconds. Then, in a more reasonable tone of voice he said that he was not a legal expert. Turns out he didn't know what these laws were, or even if they existed in the first place. But by golly he was going to be FURIOUS about the thought that they could, possibly exist. Harrumph, harrumph, fight them on the beaches, rivers of blood, etcetera.
    That's Brexit. A bunch of people fired up into a nationalistic frenzy, shaking their fists at the uncaring sky above and talking big about how they are going to fix stuff the EU 'broke'. And yet they have no idea if things are even broken, if it was the EU's fault, or how to fix them even if it was.

      I'm really surprised that farmers, like Mr Collins, who inherited their farms through several generations of ancestors, have no clue what farming was like back in time. Back in the 1950s, farming required massive amounts of cheap labour. Labour is not as cheap and modern farming employing expensive capital is much more efficient and competitive. There is no going back. What we could have done though, was to avoid the worst excesses of the industrialisation of farming by remaining within the protection of a market formed by nations with similar values to ours. Still, Mr Collins will be ok. At least he has a lot of lands to sell. And I'm sure a US agricultural giant with have the opportunity to grow his farm once a future Conservative government inevitably relaxes the UK's food standards and regulation on food production.
