  I wonder how our farmers ever managed prior to all the subsidies and foreign workers they now seem to rely on to survive.
  
  When for example potatoes were picked by hand prior to the machines that now dig up, grade and clean.
  
  When the only fertilizer was from their animals rather than chemicals.
  
  When birds and other predators were nature's pest control until starved out by more modern practises.
  
  Luckily farmers are more careful what and where they use man made chemicals, but still they say they need subsides to survive. Maybe they mean so they do not have to get their hands or feet dirty prior to jumping in their new Range Rover instead of the old banger the majority of farmers used to drive.
