Re: Britain outside the EU
British produce to rot in the fields, with demands filled by imports. How can this situation be turned around? Mechanisation? A campaign to get people to work in agriculture? Or should we focus on more value-added industries?

For the past 38 years Tim Clarke has relied on seasonal pickers from eastern Europe to harvest peas and other vegetables he grows on his farm near Chichester.

This year, however, he has been able to hire only 75 per cent of the 50 workers he needs, meaning tonnes of vegetables are being left to rot. “The whole thing is ludicrous,” said Clarke. “We’ve sold this product to supermarkets and they’re complaining because they’re not getting it.”
