    To Rescue Farming

    If we were able to realise that only farmers can farm, then we would be able to see at once that rescue from politicians and financiers is what is needed by farming.

    Without that crucial act of mercy the farming industry will continue to founder however many £ billions are thrown at it by politicians and financiers.

    Until we open our eyes and see that we live in a financial dictatorship we shall not be able to see the source of the farmers grief.

    Take one very obvious fact that even a blind man can see.

    Successive Governments operate on the principle that voters vote for cheap food.

    That is the prime error of Government interference into farming. Paying farmers to produce cheap food.

    Good food can never be cheap, therefore farmers are paid by the government to farm badly.

    If you asked the cost of cheap food in terms of poor health and loss of national vigour, you would find that such food is fatally costly.

    If we are to resolve this absurd situation we must ask why is the nation short of money so that it chooses to economise on food.

    The answer stares us in the face if we look. Banks create money by lending. There would be no money unless it were borrowed. You have to be short of money to be persuaded to borrow money.

    Ipso facto, we have to be short of money in order to have any money at all. We have to be short of money to need cheap food.

    Farmers must be bribed with £ billion to get them to produce cheap food. It is not their way, it is not good husbandry.

    And in consequence, the Government policy of providing cheap food for the voters is suicidally expensive.

    Now you can see how to rescue farming!
