Farming Minister George Eustice has released details of his vision for UK agriculture if the country votes to leave the European Union in the summer.
Mr Eustice was speaking at the NFU Conference and said: "My own view is we would be better off if we take control."
He said British farmers would benefit from access to a European market but not being bound by regulatory burdens.
"If we ended the supremacy of EU law we would be free to come up with fresh thinking on policy and to deal with some of the problems farmers have around regulation."
"My view is that you would probably dismantle the whole two pillar structure."
"If we ended the supremacy of EU law we would be free to come up with fresh thinking on policy and to deal with some of the problems farmers have around regulation."
The Farming Minister recently said he was backing the campaign to bring the UK out of the EU, putting him in conflict with Defra Secretary Liz Truss, who said she would be joining the Prime Minister in his calls for Britain to remain in the Union.
We now have an opportunity to debate our future, how we are governed and how our laws are made" he said.
"I have been an advocate of renegotiation for fifteen years but, in the end, despite the endeavours of David Cameron, the sort of fundamental reform I wanted to see was not possible.
"I have therefore come to the conclusion that the only way to deliver the change I want to see is to vote to leave and end the supremacy of EU law.
"I believe if this country has the courage to act decisively and take control, then in five years’ time the only question people will ask is why we didn’t do it sooner."
£18 billion a year
At the NFU Conference, Eustice stressed that if Britain left the EU, it would stop giving £18 billion a year to the EU and would have more resources to support farmers and the environment.
"I am absolutely confident if we took control, Parliament would kick in and you would see us thinking about farming again."
"We could dismantle the whole two-pillar structure we have at the moment.
"But instead you would have a number of key objectives, including protecting food security, risk management tools and insurance schemes like we have in Canada, investing in science and technology and protecting and enhancing the environment with the sorts of agri-environment schemes we have now.
"I am also keen we introduce a new theme to reward high animal welfare systems, for example in the pig and poultry sectors."
