Farmers can't be blamed for leading the fuel protests in September. They get hit by higher petrol prices and lower farm incomes at the same time. It's all part of a campaign to win more help for farmers who have spent their lives getting rich whilst wrecking the countryside. As soon as they thought they would get backing they started a blockade of the oil terminals. But that wasn't public interest, it was self-interest.
Farmers already get big discounts on their fuel bills.

Supermarkets exist to make money - farmers should learn to adapt. Farming is a stressful occupation due to the long lonely hours.
