As the old saying goes, "Invest in land. They're not making any more of it".
How hard do you think it'll be for an entity like Blackrock to convert agricultural land into, say, a Solar Farm? We already know the current Government loves both them and net zero.
How solid will the restrictions on land use be when the Govt is desperate to build millions of homes to contain an ever expanding population?
It would be pretty hard for that to happen really because it would have to go through the planning process. Also arable agricultural land is probably worth more than putting a solar farm on it.
Similarly with housing, undoubtedly worth a lot but a bloody nightmare to build on greenfield land.

In the normal scheme of things you'd be correct but with the Senedd holding farmers to ransom that to continue to receive grants they have to turn 20% of their land to plant trees , regarding solar farms , don't think arable land is worth more than a solar farm because in a lots of cases it isn't. There's marginally less greenfield sites being built on than brownfield sites Brownfield land: The Government defines brownfield land as developed land, that is, or was previously, occupied by a permanent structure. Brownfield land accounts for 8.7%of land in England and 54% of all new homes in 2021/22 were built on brownfield land. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Homes England’s Strategic Plan 2023-2028 prioritise brownfield development to better utilise existing land in built-up areas and to preserve undeveloped land. Greenfield land: Greenfield typically refers to land which has not been developed. The vast majority of land in England is greenfield land, accounting for 91.1% of land across the country. In 2021/22, 46% of new homes were built on greenfield land.

Have farmers forgotten about the awful trade deal that JOHNSON agreed with Australia and New Zealand? Now that should have been something to really protest over.
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
Some very wealthy farmers found the loophole out of paying Capital Gains Tax by trusting their Estate to an heir and the relevant legal paperwork at that time , all above board .
Labour have seen this get out clause and want to close it , big earners now will pay CGT in another form of taxation .
Like them or loathe them Farmers are necessary for quality local shop products . Many customers will put local produce first over Supermarket pre packed off the shelf .
Strangely my very close family member was up in arms when we left the EEC after Brexit . No more funding for her livestock thereafter .

Local farm shops are more expensive than supermarkets
So why don't farmers sell that superior quality to supermarkets? They must be giving us crap and saving the best for themselves
Because the supermarkets are competing against each other for customers and they are locked in a race to try and get the lowest price and that means the cheapest produce and lower quality cuts.

We won't pay for quality from a supermarket, by the time they've taken their cut a top quality steak would be a lot more than it is now.
Just think of what's in a 99p McDonald's burger. If the price reflected the cost of production it would be about £3 I reckon.

They aren't competing with each other, it's a cartel. They are all making huge profitd
Mind you the farmer in Tetbury ‘ploughing’ thru the water deserves everything he gets.
Fellow farmers are calling him a w⚓️

Sister does rear farmland breed pigs , all open air and free to roam on grassland until slaughter , have had some pork sausages from her barn door business and the taste was so different to bangers from the Supermarkets , as a farmer no more freebies thereafter all got to paid for at top dollar if I want anymore .
Will I now go back and pay £3 for six quality sausages or a Quid for some leftover ears and remains of a captured pig which had no life .
No wonder one of my family turned Vegitarian from a very young age after seeing well looked after animals , then as said earlier , shrink wrapped offal available to the customer who cannot afford prime cuts of meat .

The meat produce sold at Swansea Market& local butchers is imo much superior to supermarkets which I believe has always been the case with the difference being tangible. Pork chops from Asda or from the market there's no competition it has to be the market every time, also by buying local you're keeping someone local in work and the money within the community. Someone mentioned farming cartels ,what a load of chicken s888, there are cartlels but those running them are the supermarkets not the farmers ,that's the price you pay for having cheap highly processed meat.

Couldn't agree more I buy all my fresh produce from Swansea Market, yes you pay a bit more but you know exactly what you are getting
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game
