British Farmer Exposes That The Government Is Paying To Destroy The Farming Industry

🚨 “We're now being paid to stop growing food and grow wild flowers. It's insanity.”

“The same madness is happening in Europe. They're asking farmers to plant wild flowers instead of food.”

“For the last 20 years we've been attacked by the political classes telling us how to farm in the countryside. Colin Martin-Reyner, I'm a farmer, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, I've been doing it for nearly 500 years, not me personally but the family. Wheat, barley, oats, beans, maize and cattle and sheep, we've had enough. We don't need townies to tell us how to farm.

We're now being paid to stop growing food and grow wild flowers. It's insanity.

We're thinking of ceasing our production after 500 years. My view is we've got this political class that's out of touch with us farmers.

We work very hard. In the House of Commons last week, there was a handful of MPs in the chamber.

They should hold their heads in shame.

At the moment, we are stopping producing wheat, which makes bread, which everybody in this country eats. We've been paid to grow wildflowers. We need to have food juiced and made in the UK. We can grow everything. Okay, we can't do bananas and grapes and avocados, but we can grow everything else. But people say, well, we can import from abroad.

The same madness is happening in Europe. They're asking farmers to plant wild flowers instead of food.

Okay, we could bring food in from Brazil. Do you know how they do that? Cut down the rainforest. Is that sensible? I don't think it is.”

This will eventually put them all out of business.
