So the Government should give more support to organic farmers (The Argus, January 23) in view of the demand for such food, of which 70 per cent has to be imported from abroad because we can't grow enough here?
The Government spends £20 million a year to encourage organic food preparation, while it pays £130 million a year to farmers not to grow anything at all - the infamous set-aside scheme.
It does not make sense.
