Dairy products may still have a bright future

FOR the majority in this country, agriculture is no longer seen as something that is fundamental to our economy or, indeed, to our way of life.

Those working on the land are all too easily and readily dismissed as that part of the economy that goes out of its way to get every last penny it can from Brussels and still whinges for more.

It's a convenient viewpoint easily supported by the truth that up to 50% of farm income now comes from Brussels.
