00:00I don't think we've got much hope for the next generation, aren't we? Farmers aren't
00:22going to be able to afford to pass down farming to their families. It's generation after generation
00:25of knowledge passed down between each other, and food security is going to be absolutely
00:30destroyed. We're flooding in Spain as it is, destroying a lot of food. Food is going to
00:34be rocketing up in England as it goes on. People are paying enough for food already,
00:38too much really, and the more they help us, the more we help the public, and that's all
00:41we want to do. We want to feed people. Farmers aren't going to be able to afford to buy these
00:44farms. These are our homes. I lived there my entire life, so did my father and my grandfather.
00:50We're not going to have a chance to carry on farming. We can't borrow the money either
00:54because land prices are going to go down, and you can't borrow the money on the land
00:58to buy your farm back. It's going to be devastating.
