Here’s Clarkson, bringing cold logic to environmentalist slogans. It’s just over fifteen minutes of your time, and worth every second.
It may well turn out that the best day for the future of British agriculture was the day when Jeremy Clarkson decided to buy and run a farm.
He is correct, you know. William Jennings said more than a century ago, “Burn down your cities and leave our farms, and your cities will spring up again as if by magic; but destroy our farms, and the grass will grow in the streets of every city in the country”.
Just as Clarkson says here, Cities are built on the foundation of agricultural resources, and without farms, urban centers would collapse. Agriculture is the true foundation of a nation’s prosperity, as the people in cities ultimately rely on food from farms for survival. `
