Farmers like the government, corporations and the rich still ignore scientists recommendations, even though farmers are still part of the climate emergency problem.
Really shouldn’t be a headline.. so a farmer lost his field to a fire, most likely outcome of this, I could care less. Insured? Good nothing lost. Not insured? Too bad. Only way I would care is if the insurance rejected the payout.
What’s with the anti farming sentiment? 726 tons of barely lost is 4.3 million pints!
Is that before or after CAP payments!

Remember when they wanted cheap foreign labour and couldn’t get it during the pandemic lockdowns? Remember when those lazy British workers they just can’t get to do it applied in such numbers that they had to make new excuses about how these workers would just go back to their regular jobs… I mean, so what? You have them while you have them, which is better than nothing, even if they would all just go back to their regular jobs. They’re such liars that I wonder if this fire didn’t get lit by the farmer himself for some financial reason or other, insurance, drive up price. I don’t trust farmers.

Is it not insured? Why’s this a headline?
I don’t maths well, but:
40000/[54.3](https://ahdb.org.uk/news/where-now-for-barley-prices-grain-market-daily) = 736 – that’s tons btw.
Can one get that weight, dried, off a field that size? Or is my maths/research shit?
Or is this like street prices for drugs?
Edit: I don’t think so -[66.7 bushels an acre](https://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_average_yield_of_barley_per_acre), 21kg to a bushel of barley.
Is that lost profit using expected market prices?
