Exactly, an agricultural supplier fks up and suddenly its the government fault and the processors (who couldnt lay the people off fast enough which I assume they will now have to rehire) want compensation you couldnt make it up.

Agriculture - It appears if anything goes wrong claim compo be it weather, feeding animals to vegetarian animals, foot and mouth etc etc
