The Common Agricultural Policy is a fucking disaster, and easily the worst aspect of EU membership, as it benefits farmers enormously financially, although it makes it very difficult for them to diversify, whilst being a disaster for the environment.
The UK government's replacement policy is actually not bad, given it's been put together by this shower of bastards, but so much of British farming is not economically viable, and is compounded by the purchasing power of the supermarket chains, that it's no surprise farmers are upset at the new strings that are attached to the new subsidies they are receiving.
