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. |  |

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 .
Not a happy bunny . | | | |

They're a realistic price based on the cost of what it takes to produce food. | | | |

Because the food is far superior, you only get what you pay for |  |

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. | | | |

Go to a good local butcher, none of those cheap cuts of meat wrapped in plastic, you have no idea what you are buying | |

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.
Eggs and milk are priced far too low too. | | | |

However,we don’t like taxing them as it upsets the working people | |

They aren't competing with each other, it's a cartel. They are all making huge profitd | | | |
