Farmers’ Markets
Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14. (46)___________
“You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating, ”she said. “There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!”
Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. (47)___________ “I’m sure dad hoped I’d stay, ”he said. “I guess it’s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn’t appeal. For young, ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world. ”For Robinson, farming doesn’t offer much “in terms of money or lifestyle. ” Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: “providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature. ”
Farming is a big political issue in the UK. (48)___________The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.
