Local farmer’s solution based on the land
There was an interesting gathering on Wednesday 30th October by the Bexhill and Rother Environment groups at Belulah Church Hall. Geoff Rayner gave a interesting talk about diet and nutrition and many facts regarding farming, including European subsidies and feed lots in America. But I believe one issue has not been considered, that is land tenure.
I can give some examples;
I was once farming in Ashburnham in the 60s,there were 20 farmers producing milk. Today in the whole of Rother District I believe there are only three. And one dairy farmer goes out of business a week.
