@MrJamesMay It's value is the clue to why many would support what is essentially social engineering. If land value represented it's production value it might actually be an improvement.

I’m trying to follow the great farming debate but, as an economics illiterate, I’m baffled. If a farm has a nominal value of, say, £3m but generates an income of only c. £40k, how can it really be worth that much? This is not, bt dubs, a loaded question. I’m interested.

@MrJamesMay Equally they don't make it any more.

@MrJamesMay The value is firstly in its appeal as a recreational holding and the status it brings but justified, often, in it's security and tax efficiency as part of a wealthy individuals total asset holding. Often it allows individuals to operate a trading account through their farming.

Recommendation for cheese lovers: @SimonWOrganic's Cotswold Blue-Veined Brie. Organic, lovely creamy texture, & the blue's not overpowering: just enough to give it a bit of tang. #cheese #cheeseboard #organic Nowhere near the Cotswolds I'm afraid, so I get it from @AbelandCole
