@Mips based agorism

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 you honestly thought that even if remain won there would have been reforms and not just business as usual? You sure were optimistic.

EU is good for farmers. Subsidies baby !
Money for leaving your land Fallow !

Guaranteed Price, No Competition from Africa etc

yes I still am an optimistic kinda guy

@Fitzydog I mean, they profit, alot, and I get to pat myself on the shoulder

@Jam Roll LOL, yes, ofc they do, in thirdworld parts of the EU

@Jam Roll Tbf, you need to leave land fallow for a while to recover

Or just unused

1977 - Explaining Communist Central Planning - also known as the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)
Fucking idiots.

I may have the details not 100% correct, wrt leaving land fallow I admit

it just didn't work out that way

Sure, the EU was a good idea

that got cucked

@Jam Roll It's the government and markets that expect farmers to pull off miracles and use their land every single year for decades straight

I mean, crop rotation has been a standard for a few hundred years no?

@Fitzydog We had sugar mountains, Butter Mountains, Grain Mountains. Good old Commie central planning.

Crop rotation isn't as commonly used as you think

@Fitzydog we're required to do it by law

Just throw more fertilizer on it

Ffs we're putting fertilizer in tree stands now

or else the government fines you and takes your land

That sounds wonderful

Gotta love those Commie's. That vid I posted was 1977 btw. Explains the CAP

Or the past few years drought, can't produce because mother nature? You should've had that in mind, now pay a fine to the EU for underproducing

I'm glad I don't live in the EU

Sounds like a nightmare of beuracracy

It is

I'm sure it is for industrial production too

I'm just used to the agricultural side

Forestry too

it's nuts

Step 1 remove subsidies/govt insurance
Step 2 promote farm estate planning and foundations
Step 3 market products that use sustainable farming practices and "fertilizer and pesticide free"

Step 4 tariff foreign products of the same type already produced

I reckon the EU will fall soon enough

the fact that there exists stuff like the schengen agreement is proof enough tbh

The estate planning portion is most important, because the subsidies and insurance exist due to farmers leaving land fallow and not producing.

So you save your earnings from previous years to pay for your costs when you're not producing, and it's paid to you in installments.

Kind of like unemployment insurance

Actually, that could be the incentive to not overwork your land. You don't get your money back until you are not producing

The issue with the last one is essentially the EU does that or outright bans the import in favor of internal bloc sources.
