00:00Obviously it's not great. I know a couple of people have committed suicide over it.
00:06So, yeah, it sort of hits home when, you know, we get taxed on the business.
00:15People are going to go out of business, lose their family farms.
00:18All the small farms are going to die off, I think, if it carries on.
00:24I could potentially be out of a job. I could be still in a job.
00:27It won't be as many farms around as there is now.
00:34I've seen pictures online. There's a farmer in Berkshire.
00:38I don't know him, but I know of the farm.
00:42He's got a sign on his tractor I've seen. It's 139 years old and it's family.
00:50Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure he's a fourth or fifth generation farmer.
00:57So, give it three or four years, that farmer will be non-existent.
