I really don't know what half of the British electorate was thinking when they voted for Brexit. They really look like turkeys voting for Christmas. It's beyond belief.
Brexit was fine. It was a vote to extract the UK from faceless burocrats. Unfortunately incompetent government could not re-imagine successful new rules and structures for the country
@@ridleyclayburn4599 the EU has problems like most countries around the world particularly because of COVID and Ukraine, but we would still be far better off if we had stayed in.
No mention that the Australia and NewZealand trade deals have a limited tonnage and when we were members of the EU we had a trade deal with New Zealand for lamb for the last 35 years. The EU have done an unlimited tonnage trade deal with New Zealand and a limited tonnage trade deal with South America.
Interesting data. However, it’s only covering supply which doesn’t look too bad. If we compare it to the demand, due to population increase, then the data wouldn’t look so good. Maybe it should have been ‘how many tonne wheat per capita’. Simply looking at productivity isn’t enough to thoroughly understand the situation.
Root cause of all this mess was joining the EU in the first place. We used to be a self sufficient, influential Island. Now, we're just an embarrassing mess.
Farmers are an extremely small portion of the voting population. If they alone voted for brexit it wouldn’t have made a difference. It was only because over 50% of the rest of the population voted that we left the EU. Some farmers also certainly did not vote for brexit.
Interesting. Just want to say that the subsidies are clearly not helping farmers….that £5 billion is for soil sustainability and nature, not keeping farmers in a business.
The UK consumes £10 billion worth of beef (that's 10,000 million pounds worth!) and their chart says Austrailian imports went up from 1 million to 4 million per year. MINISCULE!
The tories promised to keep up the eu subsidiary but went against it not long after we left the EU. These problems where caused from the tory rule and the effects are still been felt now
Imagine working for a huge, complex organisation where 99% of the staff have been treated like dogsh1t for 14 years, then expecting the new CEO to have fixed everything within 6 months.
As a farmer that is a very good simple overview of the current situation. Our politicians are throwing us under the bus in the deluded race to be carbon neutral, damaging for ever one of our most important industries.
The UK spending on the Farming sector needs to go up so that farmers have a larger income whilst protecting the ecology on a field scale and inter regional landscape scale. Protection of the local genetic heritage is extremely important in surviving the changing weather patterns and thus improving farm incomes.
A very good report really. It’s not just inheritance tax that farmers are protesting about though. They will face massively increased tax on fertiliser, pickups and more costs for employing people all because of labour. The torques didn’t do any favours with their terrible trade deals and lack of encouragement for food production but they are far less bad than labours new budget.
@@abcixnay They have both undoubtedly not helped the farming industry but ultimately they aren't as bad as Labour's changes to inheritance tax. It has been death by a thousand cuts it's just Labour decided to stab rather than cut.
Brilliant ilustration of whats happening, dont forget the new sustainable farmimg schemes are payimg farmers not to grow food for humans, much land is taken out of food prodution to grow bird and insect food
What I take from all this is. We need a better balance in producing food and improving the soil. I'm sure the farmers would have great ideas in how to do this. I'm for economic assistance to do this.
Given that farmers in the EU are also protesting we aren't any worse off. Your graph at 3.57 is very deceptive, it doesn't show imports from any other country, nor our contribution. If our sales are the same, yet buying from the EU has dropped and been replaced by the ones on your graph then all is well.
So farmers are saying its the governments fault for subsidising them in the wrong way? 'Ill make more money if i dont grow food'. What about 'benefit scroungers' who say they're better off not working? Should we get to the streets and protest for them as well?
Entertainment business reporting: In a 5:22 clip it is not possible to distill the truth about the economics of farming. Nice try Sky, but it would take too long and require too much of the viewer, to explain the problem properly & at the end of the day the consumer, whether directly or indirectly, finds it difficult to move more of their spend to food.
If Brexit had been the great idea that half the U.K. was led to believe it was, Hritish farming would be booming, Jaguar/Land Rover would bigger than Toyota, and the Pound Sterling would be the the world's reserve currency by now.
The UK brought in New Zealand lamb into the 1973 common market as part of its entry. New Zealand wouldn't have normally sold into France in advance of 1973. Mainly because the members back then would have produced a surplus. This was a legacy Commonwealth agreement between the UK and NZ that the old EEC accepted on the succession talks. A country or trading block has a duty to protect its own internal market
If people try to do that, they'll have no time for anything else. And some people will be really bad at it and starve...The system of having the farmers in the countryside growing the food for everyone in the towns kinda just works...Unless the government tries to screw it up.
Farmers voted for brexit because they thought they would be able to hold the country to ransom on food prices. It is the only Industry who expect's more, to produce less!. Weren't they suppose to be the most efficient business in the UK, or was that just the subsidies speaking?.
Farmers were being undercut by cheap food imports. Its not the farmers fault our regulations are so strict that it costs twice as much to raise animals in the UK compared to Poland. A 30 acre farm used to make enough money for a farmer selling milk, then government hygiene standards put most out of business, same for beef, pork, chicken etc
Farming is frowned upon until ppl realize thats beeing self sufficient is a matter of natural security importing more food isnt a solution supporting your farmers is the way to go
The farmers are unhappy because they are not being listened to by the government, the fact is that environmental protection (usually overly regulated) and foreign wars(Ukraine) are making the costs of agriculture rise while the price stays the same(trade deals), no profit with more taxes equals farmers walking off their land, which in the long run means that the consumer will eventually have to pay exorbitantly more when the corporations own most of the land.
The headline figure, will be rapidly eroded, first by tax and the massive cost of getting planning approval. But also local authority contributions for schools, healthcare provision and road improvements, which will amount to several million, as well as around 30% of the houses have to be affordable housing, for rent in partnership with a housing trust, who have no need to pay very much for the land.
We have the inevitable "it's not the Brezit we voted for". Which was clearly defined as what exactly, in 2016? The few smart people I know that voted to leave, absolutely did not vote to leave the single market.
Most countries in the world aren’t in Europe so nothing to do with Brexit. UK produce sent as far as NZ due to its quality. Farmers are price takers. Up to government to stop rubbish coming in from poorly farmed nations.
The EU is in crisis, look at what is happening economically and politically to Germany and France. When the EU starts fragmenting (Some German politicians are actually talking about leaving) we will see that there is no point in trying to reboard a sinking ship.
Food security? Stammer and Raynor want to build 1.5 million houses over our food production land. What will our food security be then? What percentage of our food will we import? Labour have put an inheritance tax on farmers which will destroy a considerable percentage of them. They will need to sell, their land, which developers will buy under Labour plan. Coincidence?
Uk land is graded on its ability to grow food. Unless an area of the country where it is all productive land, that will rarely happen as such reviews are part it of the land allocation process adding it to ldp. Developments must still go through the planning process.
Stop building houses/outwards. Start building upwards. Tax per area of land removed from nature for residential property development. Fewer cars, less tarmac, less piping, less cabling, less material consumption, much less heating energy waste. Less car dependency and accidents. Closer to care and real life social networks for lone/older people. Fewer people living inside airtight silos seeing the actual world through biased social and corporate media. Many things will be better this way. Stop thinking like the UK is a massive US-sized country with endless resources . Understand, re-think and use smartly all the advantages and potential of this small but mighty country. On farming, gov should give to farmer cooperatives 3-4 times as many direct/indirect benefits as they have being giving to big landlords. We ll be exporting food in a few years this way.
Working off of value is a really bad way to do it as German exports are likely worth significantly more than their imports. The values don't represent how much actual food Germany imports/exports
So no fault of the Conservative government then at all. Amazing how the farmers keep quiet when their paymasters are in power but protest the minute they are out of power. Brexit has worked out well for the farmers hasn't it.
Germany are looking as though they are going down and Europe is crumbling, the charts are interesting, but there is one absolutely huge reason why we are in trouble. Before the 70's we had the largest Merchant fleet in the world, bringing in food from all over the world cheaply. That fleet has almost gone, if there is a war not only can we not produce enough, in all likelihood we'll not be able to import enough. Look at Ukraine, no one wants to send their ships to a war zone do they? It wasn't until Russia agreed that limited wheat exports were resumed.
It looks to me UK and Germany are the ones crumbling. 😅 Europe is a waaaaaaaaay bigger place than UK and Germany. Spain, Poland, Russia and half of Europe are growing faster than USA. EUROPE ain't crumbling boy. Just the GDP growth of UK and Germany is. EU as a whole is still growing and always growing. Russia is the biggest European country and it grows almost 3%. The growth of Spain, Poland, Romania, Greece, Portugal, southern and southeastern Europe, Baltics, Denmark and Scandinavia is very VERY good. Europe is a BIG place. That's like saying California is doing very bad, their economy and population size is shrinking so USA is crumbling. Nah. USA is JUST FINE. Same with Europe.
This is why I’m in support for the inheritance on farmers, they were on off the bigger voters for brexit and asked for their demise, dragged us down with them now want us to cry for them? lol
Why don't Sky propaganda tell the British people about the 12,000 US Military & 1,000 CIA occupying the UK. Let them know how colonizers have been colonized.
The EU paid farmers ( scottish perspective here ) to grow trees on land that could of been used to grow food. Because of Green targets it actually was more cost effective not to grow anything we could eat and take a payment from the EU for trees. At least now that's gone they are forced to grow food be that animal or plant.
As A EU citizen, I would Welcome back the UK if they joined without any special deals or opt-outs, if they comitted to the €uro, if all UK media stopped lying about the EU, if the Uk introduced Proportional representation
the UK needs to be able to grow its own food not rely on other countries with larger land masses support our farmers and protect the countryside from Labour Vote them out of everywhere ASAP
It was bad for everyone tbf, nobody has benefited. Germany and France lost one of their most important markets and most stable and useful partners. As did we. Its like a violent divorce where basically all the money went to the lawyers.
@Enut17 Nonsense. The only down side from our farming point of view is it's made importing goods slightly more challenging. But that's not an issue for us, nor most British farms. French, German, Dutch farmers are also protesting. They haven't been through Brexit, these recent protests are all about politicians all throughout Europe trying to kill farming. Not just farming, small businesses as well. Wake up .

the UK needs to be able to grow its own food not rely on other countries with larger land masses support our farmers and protect the countryside from Labour Vote them out of everywhere ASAP
The Netherlands is the 2nd largest exporter of agricultural products in the world with not much of a large landmass.
That's exactly what Davos and the WEF don't want.That's why WEF and Davos supporter Starmer is doing this.
Let’s just turn British in small plots for the rich Londoner’s and foreigners can own it a
rather than the English landed gentry , not a bad idea . Most countries moved away from the English serf system centuries ago
Labour out
brexit means brexit 👊🇬🇧
So basically labour want farmers land for housing.
Its seems the tables have turned and its actually the farmers who are going to be this year's turkeys. 😆
That was a very interesting report. Well done Sky.
Fair play to Sky ...this is a good presentation of some basic agr data and quite illuminating .
Brexit benefits...
Good to see some farming facts rather then political hysteria. Well done.
brexit was good.. for EU .. hahahaha
Things are no better for people in the EU.
@@ravenmad9225 are better compared with UK..
It was bad for everyone tbf, nobody has benefited. Germany and France lost one of their most important markets and most stable and useful partners. As did we. Its like a violent divorce where basically all the money went to the lawyers.
@@willumbermarchant5510 nobaday lost more than UK..EU is made of 26 countries..
@pandav4843 that goes without saying, but it didn't make the EU stronger or better overall.
Why are sky blaming brexit? Farmers protests have nothing to do with brexit. Leave it out. Farmers have a problem with the current labour government.
@Enut17 Nonsense. The only down side from our farming point of view is it's made importing goods slightly more challenging. But that's not an issue for us, nor most British farms. French, German, Dutch farmers are also protesting. They haven't been through Brexit, these recent protests are all about politicians all throughout Europe trying to kill farming. Not just farming, small businesses as well. Wake up .
Very intelligent piece. Food security will continue to increase as an issue and it's good to have this contxt and awareness.
He didn't mention the new taxes on fertilizer which means farmers will use less!
Brexit!!!!!!
