Last week, TrailBlazingTruths posted a video clip on TikTok of Cornish farmer Keith Andrews explaining how the UK government is incentivising farmers not to grow food.
“We’ve been offered £2,500 to join a scheme for the next three years where we don’t supply you any food,” he said.
“I’m going to plough a field. I’m going to put spring barley in. I’m going to get £440 off the Government, per acre. Then when it comes to crop size, leave it [to] rot in the ground.
“So, I don’t get no straw for the cattle, you don’t get nothing for your bread, for everything we make.
“I can also plant bee mix which is for birds and bees. I can plant wild bird seed which is for wild birds.
“I can also be paid to buy a tonne of bird seed, like anybody puts in their garden for the birds, and threw it out on the ground once a week. I can get paid for that.
“My accountant says ‘do it’. Because in doing that, I’ve not got to buy fertiliser – which since the Ukraine war it’s gone from £250 a tonne to £1,000 a tonne, so in order to fertilise your food I’ve got to buy fertiliser at £1,000 a tonne.
“So, I’ve now got a crop that I don’t have to spray, I don’t have to send nobody out there with a tractor, I don’t have to fertilise it or I can just leave it in the ground to rot.”
Called the Sustainable Farming Incentive (“SFI”), the scheme is made up of a set of specified standards and is open to all farmers and occupiers with management control. It is one of three that make up the environmental land management (“ELM”) schemes, which replaced the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy.
SFI was launched by the UK government in 2022 following an earlier pilot. In June 2023, the Government launched a “new and improved” SFI 2023 offering farmers additional actions and more flexibility to choose the actions they want to get paid for, offering more than twice as many new SFI actions as originally planned.
Incentivising farmers to plant hedgerows instead of crops, Minister of State at Defra Sir Mark Spencer said: “There’s no minimum or maximum land area or hedgerow length, so farmers can choose how much land to cover with their SFI agreement.”
In September 2023, Defra posted a blog which demonstrated that they hadn’t thought through the dire consequences of their eco-activism:
Incentive to plant seed to increase the migratory bird population for a bird flu pandemic. Let us look at the incentive for human migration as well. Incentives are similar in nature to attract vermin into a trap for extermination. Except in this case not in a confined gas chamber, but in open air. The entire exercise is to cull the human population. It isn’t the replacement theory as many suggest. They choose birds as their weapon of choice as they can easily spread a disease globally or at least appear capable of spreading fake disease. Difficult to determine which as they have all ready primed the pump with the last pandemic. Climate change is another global phenomenon chosen for the same reason as it can be propagandized as global and used to force compliance into the trap of their choosing. You can rest assured knowing where they plan no nukes or will less likely be affected by the global turmoil by finding out where they have built their bunkers.
