Its always been the same my father years ago was a big strawberry grower. He would probably get paid 30p a kg for strawberries out of the 30p he would have all the growing costs ie fertilisers, labour costs like picking and maintaining the crop. The supermarkets at that time would be charging approx. 3 times that amount and pocketing the difference.

@AJ-hi9fd Thats the problem it won't Starmer never goes out into the cold dirty countryside he might get his shoes dirty. Much like all politicians. If London was full of farms it would be a government priority.

I live near The Wash hundreds of acres of land each year is covered with solar panels & new housing and it will be the same over most of the country. We have a problem with energy security at present in a few years we will have big problems with food security.
