## **`What's the prognosis for farming and the need for farm support like ours?`**
```
Sadly,allofthechallengesfacingfarmersthatwecommentedonthistimelastyearremain.Itis worth
re-listing them:
```
- `Brexit - where the long term impact on farming is still as uncertain as last year`
- `Changes to the main UK farm grants scheme as provided by government - where the final shape of the`
- `new scheme has still not been determined`
- `Continuing pressures of inspections and regulation.`
- `The introduction of NVZs leading to increased cost and uncertainty.`
- `Additional environmental pressures.`
- `Ongoing Bovine TB.`
- `Extreme isolation.`
- `Covid - although restrictions are now being lifted.`
```
We can now also add the potential effects, short and long term of a war in Ukraine.
```
```
Thepressuresonfarmingasanindustryandallindividualfarmersandfarmingfamilieswithin it
continues to increase and, as a result, more will find it difficult to cope.
