Uk tractor production is...

 

carried out in the last remaining tractor factory in the UK.

 

There is only one tractor factory left.

The choice of venue - the last tractor factory in Britain - was also significant; both for the Government's message about industry and manufacturing, but also because it generated a question about the prospects for British farming - a key issue that rarely strays into the Prime Minister's purview.

 

David Cameron's response was as follows: "If we want a healthy farming industry, what we've got to recognise is that it really depends on us as consumers going into shops and supermarkets wanting to buy quality British products... if you want healthy farming, you want consumers saying British meat is the best, British food is the best, I want to demand the best and I want to go out to buy the best. That would be good for British agriculture."

 

Farming skills are being lost.

 

A million youth are on the dole. Unemployed youths wishing to grow food cannot even get allotments...

 

Yet land its idle, unused fields become overgrown. Derelict buildings decay. And the people who need access to land the most, to live and work upon, they are denied access.

 

Tractor production, pffft. The only demand is for tents.

The demise of farming is many fold and not just the lack of tractor sales. New generations don't want long hours for a pittance - look at how supermarkets are killing off dairy farmers - also a lot of farms are owned by big private investment companies who want to see as big a return as possible at least cost - it's a lose-lose situation.

 

Much like the joke about Terramasalata and Humus sales on decline due to a double-dip recession!

 

As Fraser would say "We're doooomed!":hihi:
