No-deal Brexit 'could cost farms 拢850m in profits'
A no-deal Brexit could cost the farming industry 拢850m a year in lost profits, new research seen by this programme suggests.
Farm business consultants Andersons said that without government support increasing significantly, some farms would inevitably struggle to survive.
The author of its research described a no-deal Brexit as a greater challenge than the BSE and foot-and-mouth crises.
The government says it will "provide direct support to boost some sectors in the unlikely event this is required".
