An Everyday Story of UK Farming?

A leader in the UK's National Farmers Union (NFU) maintains that central government has a "total lack of understanding of how food production works" (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/22/completely-contradictory-nfu-leader-attacks-uks-farming-policy). That NFU official says there was clearly no plan for farming in a post-Brexit world. All sectors of UK farming now appear to be showing a consistent pattern, of plunging exports; increased bureaucracy and shortages of seasonal workers. Their woes are accompanied, she says, by 'floods' of cheap, low quality food imports. These were mandated after 'needy' government post-Brexit trade deals. The official clearly finds it extraordinary that central government is raising the bar for environmental standards in UK farming, whilst simultaneously encouraging low standards overseas. One has to note, however, that many farmers (and fishermen) were enthusiastic supporters of Brexit. Perhaps they didn't read the small print or simply believed the 'hype'?
