- What worries me most is the war in Ukraine and the development there.
But if you look at my business, then this is definitely the most serious situation I have been in since I started in this industry, says farmer Tommy Petersson.
Food production risks stopping
It is a very serious situation and in the long run it is not sustainable.
Everyone needs food, he says.
- If I do not have the money to buy diesel, seeds, pay my employees or be able to repair the tractor, if we can not get food, society will stop.
It does not matter if it is an electrician or shoe salesman because everyone needs food, says Tommy Petersson.
Some choose not to so in this situation what do you think about it?
- You decide that yourself.
But if you do not do that, you will not get a harvest either.
In this situation, it is really important to get the food we need in Sweden.
The government has decided to help with the diesel tax, is that enough?
- It's about a crown or two.
I do not want to mock anyone for coming up with a proposal.
But this is going to be ridiculous, it's much more serious now.
You have to do something more radical, says Tommy Petersson.
