Nobody is quite so hard done by as the hard-done-by-farmer. If it's not the supermarkets driving down the prices, or the forms to fill in for subsidies or the cost of fuel, or floods or droughts it's the public, particularly the urban public, who want to walk across their land.
A caricature I know, but with a grain of truth.
So let's offer some sympathy on hearing that their incomes will suffer as the value of the Euro goes down. Farm subsidies are paid in Euros.
Best, though, not to mention that farm incomes went up by 25% in 2011!!
