Up to a point @_Ben4810, but we can of course only legislate locally, not in the other countries that you've mentioned. It's not so much the goal of net zero that's wrong as the way our various governments are trying to achieve it. In Wales the headline figures of 10% tree cover etc are attracting attention, but it's probably a fair bit more nuanced in reality. In the West we now rely heavily on China (for example) to manufacture goods on our behalf, so we can't complain when they use energy to do so, nor shirk our own responsibility to de-carbonise our domestic energy consumption, given that the burden has been lightened by offshoring so much production of goods.

Went back over as part of the D-day landings. My uncle ran the market garden farm, helping to feed the UK in those dark times. Meanwhile some of my aunts were nurses in UK hospitals and one served in Egypt, I have a photo of her and two other army nurses have autographs signed by General Eisenhower on the steps of Shepheard's Hotel Cairo. Another aunt managed a stone quarry helping to patch up worn torn UK. My mother worked in a factory making parts for infantry tanks.

Well done Harry for another great video. I used to farm 600 acres with rented land, I reduced to just over 300 to get rid of awkward rabbit infested valleys that were mostly flint stone and thin soil. In 2010 I gave up the rented ground, converted a granary into 4 bedrooms bringing my rooms up to ten, all en-suite, for 39 guests (first 6 opened in 2004) and in 2007 I opened a campsite. I pay tax now, no more cash flow problems but there is still a lot of work for my wife and me. Thanks Harry for the channel.

I was looking at buying a smallholding in Wales and I was surprised to see how many former commercial farmhouses with their outbuildings were being stripped of the majority of land for re-forestation! It seems there are more grants from the Welsh government to get rid of farming in place of planting trees!?

Adding 'healthy bacteria' to seeds works at domestic level too, Harry. I buy a packet of 'healthy bacteria' and 'healthy fungi' every other year and add a smidgen into all the garden centre compost I use to germinate vegetable seeds (trays and module trays). The effect of that is that every time I transplant out rows of vegetables, bacteria and fungi are introduced into the soil where they grow (back garden and allotment). Obviously, if you can make reams and reams of compost at home/on the farm or source animal manure, you can use that as sources of micro-organisms (leaf litter from a wood is also a great source of fertility) too. I've always noticed that my seed germination is excellent when adding the micro-organisms into the garden centre compost, but I've never done a formal experiment. My soil's fertility is also improving year on year, which makes a mockery of all the doomsday scenario fear porn that 'we won't be able to grow food soon in the UK!'

Best of luck to the Welsh farmers. Policy makers need to think again...

The '23 surplus will bolster the loss predicted for 24 and then there will none left. But governments in their wisdom will allow imports from countries with far less stringent eco-welfare laws and call themselves green because they have pushed the issues out-of-sight-out-of-mind. They think we the voters are stupid, however, we are not and we see their duplicity.

Love the spring. My dad had a large amount of watercress growing around the spring. I remember him cropping great bunches from it.

SFI also allows for carbon credits Harry, up to £15000 for a two thousand acre arable farm, who plant trees and wild flowers. Theres a new stock on the new york stock exchange whereas you can invest in SFIs. Large companies and farmers are all for SFI as along with the government subsides, if you plant trees you can harvest them after 25 years. But for a small to medium farmer working ona profit margin of 5-10 % its devastating. Offcourse all the large producers are all for the SFI s as corporate entities will emerge to buy up farmland and set it aside with the added benefit like ASDA and set aside carbon credits for their delivery fleet from the land Asda purchases, in the end cornering the food market.

Interesting thanks.

At this point I’m planning to source organic wheat berries because I’m concerned about Glyphosate sprayed on the wheat as a desiccant, close to harvest time. I hear it’s a common practice here in Canada because of the short growing season and in the UK because of rainy weather. What say you? Sometimes I worry that governments are so focused on saving us from climate change, they forget people need to eat and farms feed cities!
