my guest today is minette batters, she farms right here, she s also president of the national farmers union. as a society, are we asking our farmers for the impossible? minette batters, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for having me. it s a great pleasure to be on yourfarm and the sun is shining, and in some ways you would think the sun would be shining on farmers. food prices are spiralling higher, you would think that would be good news forfarmers, is it? it s quite extraordinary. i don t think in my lifetime i have everfaced into anything like the cost inflation we are facing with our inputs now. we are seeing triple digit inflation on fertiliser, we ve seen diesel costs up by 57%, feed costs up by nearly 60%, these are huge price pressures. you have chosen to alight upon the price pressures, i ve chose to start about talking about the prices you are receiving because we know that consumers are struggling to meet the prices of the basic food stuffs that they buy at the super
