I almost always try and avoid politics and forums; it's a futile discussion on the whole
I do however, as part of some work I do, talk to some of the countries largest farmers. They all benefit from the current EU subsidies, and in some cases exploit them to the max. They all agree however that UK agriculture would, in the long run, be in far better shape and far more sustainable without them. New Zealand did exactly that in the '80s when faced with a huge budget deficit, and it now has some of the most productive and innovative farmers in the world. Food for thought, pun intended ;)
