Brexit to slash prices!

Pls tell me why this matters. The farms will still be producing produce.

Unless you're buying or selling a commercial farm, the land value is irrelevant.

as common agricultural policy subsidies are withdrawn.

Despite the common perception of farmers rolling in it, a significant number of tenant farmers are only breaking even due to the subsidies they receive.

There are plenty of arguments as to whether this is right or wrong. However, if/when subsidies are removed from UK farmers there will be many farms that will no longer being producing produce.

Other countries (eg New Zealand) have already been through the period of removing subsidies and have come out the other side leaner and stronger, but not without a great deal of pain during the transition.

Chin up. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Call up the Land Girls and dig for victory!

Who'd a thunk it prices can go down as well as up, even for farmland
