The Government’s announcement last week that the current Farm Subsidy regime would continue for a further four years has given farmers and landowners a window in which to try and mitigate the probable significant reduction in the Farm Subsidy regime.
If one looks at the politicians who are charged with negotiating Brexit, their political views do not auger well for a farming system that is predicated upon subsidies.
The previous regime which was jealously protected by French and Southern European countries, gradually evolved over the years and was never really thrashed out or explained within the popular press.
