YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Anger is brewing amongst farmers across the UK, with many worried about the future of their profession.

They say changes in the the agricultural sector post-Brexit could see food shortages and thousands of job losses.

Discontent is focused on cheap foreign imports and changes to subsidies forcing farmers to give up land in favour of environmental schemes.

The UK Government insists it backs farmers – saying it puts agriculture “at the forefront” of any trade deals and has maintained the £2.4bn annual farming budget.

The Welsh Government says farming is “important to Wales and to our economy”. It is consulting on plans and says it wants farming to have a “successful future”.

Sky's West of England and Wales correspondent Dan Whitehead joins farmers on the brink of leaving the sector and those arranging a growing protest movement.
