Spending my 59th birthday filming with

Roger has left the bbc so can say what he likes, I haven’t so can’t! But in my experience a sizeable minority of farmers don’t make a lot. Even if the house is paid for, and some expenses put on the business, it’s not a lot. Why that’s the case is surely a more important question
Research estimates two-fifths of farmers in England earn less than £25,000 a year. I wonder if this includes farm accommodation (worth a lot) and ability to buy stuff from farm stores that has dual domestic use (worth a little). Thoughts?
