Mark Drakeford has gone to war with Welsh farmers - blaming them for the Welsh Government looking to reduce food production for tree planting because they voted for Brexit.

❌ There is no data showing more farmers voted for Brexit than Remain

❌ The Welsh Government could continue with exactly the same scheme as the EU - they have power to decimate farms now

❌ They have decided, not the farmers, to look to introduce a requirement that 10% of land needs to go to trees and 10% of land for wildlife

❌ It is the Welsh Government ministers who think reducing the food for the nation and planting more trees will change the Climate, despite being only a fraction of the planet that would make little change.

❌ Wales no doubt will be a better place when Mark Drakeford leaves post. His legacy is one of decimating the Welsh economy, Welsh NHS, Welsh Education system and draconian rule through Covid.

If they have any sense , they would just invest in a cheap clay filter and remove the Red dye.

Table 3 on this doc suggests slightly more Welsh farmers voted to Leave than Remain.

Perhaps , but surely home grown products are have a better “carbon footprint “ that expensive imported goods and foodstuffs?

Wales is a farming nation isn’t it and something to be proud of

Re: Welsh Farmers Join The Protest

Good on them. The idea of losing 20% of your useable land seems ridiculous at first glance. I'm sure there's far more issues and considerations to it than that, but it seems like another bad policy from the Welsh Govt.

I can certainly see why they would protest and Drakefords infantile comments in the week will only wind them up more.

Farmers should try and adapt like the rest of us. Become more efficient with less resources and money. Stop claiming benefits (oops…I meant subsidies). Get on their bikes and retrain. Be nice to cows.

If people really believed in the climate nonsense they would stop buying imported produce. Exporting Welsh Lamb and importing New Zealand Lamb LOL fking comical.

Re: Welsh Farmers Join The Protest

things getting ugly in France .

Very tense situation at the Agricultural Show in Paris. Angry farmers are looking for Emmanuel Macron.

Reports that Police officers were filmed locking farmers in wooden sheds at the Agricultural Show, after they had attempted to get Macron

When being used in an agricultural activity.

I've been in a car that was dipped by plod to check the diesel.
