I am with you but it takes massive out of box thinking,planning and financing compared to the Simplex SFI nonsense... The corn laws were repealed but still exist at a weird global levelIm quite excited about farming in the next 5 years. But what I do at the end of that is going to be radically different from what I am doing now. Without a return to some kind of corn laws, or a public commitment (be that State subsidy or public paying) to accepting that we cannot produce commodity crops as cheap as we can import, then the future lies in off farm work for me.
There are lots of opportunities in leisure, tourism, carbon gubbins, BNG, and all that kind of thing. The outside employment sector is pretty buoyant also, and a lot of opportunities for flexible or home work.
