　　Farmers’ Markets

　　Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle.The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from developers that their father worked on since he was 14.(46)

　　“You don’t often get a day off.Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down.With fewer people working on fams it can be isolating,”she said.“There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!”

　　Oliver Robinson,25,grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.(47)“I’m sure dad hoped I’d stay,”he said.“I guess it’s a nice,straightforward life,but it doesn’t appeal.For young,ambitious people,farm life would be a hard world.”For Robinson,farming doesn’t offer much“in terms of money or lifestyle.”Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards:“providing for a vital human need,while working outdoors with nature.”

　　Farming is a big political issue in the UK.(48)The 2001 foot and mouth crisis closed thousands of farms,stopped meat exports,and raised public consciousness of troubles in UK farming.
