Opinion: Lump-sum exit scheme complexity will limit farmer uptake

Opinion: Farming will suffer hugely when BPS is taken away

Opinion: Farming will suffer hugely when BPS is taken away >More in © Tim Scrivener The latest farm business income survey of Scotland challenges the preferred view of agriculture by the UK government in Westminster that farmers in post-Brexit Britain can look forward to a prosperous future with farm subsidy payments removed. The Scottish figures show that in 2019-20 – if taxpayer support payments were removed from farm accounts – just 28% of Scottish farms showed a profit. Indeed, the average Scottish farm would have lost £17,100. Worse still, those figures do not include the cost of unpaid family labour. If any attempt is made to add in the cost of the farming families’ hours of physical work to the trading figures, then 52% of Scottish farms could not afford to pay the minimum wage and a staggering 39% could not afford to pay anything at all.

Opinion: Fixed levies and NFU/AHDB cosiness irks

Opinion: Fixed levies and NFU/AHDB cosiness irks >More in © Tim Scrivener The people – well, in this case the 61% of the UK’s horticultural levy-payers who voted to abolish the AHDB’s £8.4m horticultural levy – have spoken. The levy must go. So what now for the AHDB? First, of course, Defra secretary George Eustice must decide on whether to honour the horticultural levy ballot. The AHDB, shamefully, is attempting to undermine the vote by suggesting that the votes of producers who pay more levy could be “weighted” as more important than the votes of smaller producers. Conveniently, for the AHDB, if this method of counting votes were observed, it would reverse the result.
