Ag and Brexit.... interesting times ahead! From DTN yesterday... "Britain's exit would certainly affect the bloc’s ag policy and has been a factor in the “exit†debate. Many UK farmers oppose EU rules. “What's gotten the farmers a bit angry is that, for the past few years, there have been efforts in Brussels to limit subsidies and get involved in regulations dealing with the environment,†Moore said.
Were the UK to drop out of the multistate agricultural system, it would leave U.S. regulators and trade officials looking toward the UK government for an indication of what new regulatory structure would emerge, and analysts in the US have yet to predict what that would be, Moore said.
“There is such a view of the unknown that we are literally writing a brand new chapter in economic and political history, and it's going to create just a mess in regard to how we put back some pieces of the puzzle,†Moore said.
The EU’s Common Ag Policy has long been seen as highly protectionist, but it has been broadly supported by many in US geopolitical circles because it served at least partially to unite formerly bitter enemies and warring states."
