Countryfile tonight

[The Seeker]

I don’t ever see carbon credits ever being a thing unless the uk government act as a middle man. They rent your land pay you a more than fair return than you could make cropping they get you to ( rewild ) to a certain point I’d no corn or livestock it and then sell the ( credits ) on your behalf government bonded with a nice little profit for them , this could be exported to high carbon other country’s. Bringing in coffers time and time again but this cannot be done without the gov as the landowner is at too much risk from big business

The farmer was for many years farm manager on a very well known organic farm, having reluctantly converted it for the very well known owner.
I believe that the farm that he is on now is a joint venture with the owners.

Didn't see the programme but I can guess who you're talking about. He showed my brother and me around the farm belonging to the well known owner about twenty years ago and we were extremely impressed. He was doing a hell of a good job.

Just watching on repeat on BBC2 actually think it was one of the most balanced, informative, pro farming programmes they’d produced in some time.

I can't help but agree...

This has inspired me to strap planks of wood to my feet, and stomp about in the mud planting tufts of grass.

If there's juicy, wild oysters to forage for, I'd try it myself

There was actually lambing last week, along with some ideas for thrifty use of delicious, quality lamb ~ as in prime young sheep ~ and tonight some sensible info about goats, and cattle management.

What are they all on, all of a sudden?

It’s not a farming programme but a snippet of features about the countryside that more often than not doesn’t cover farming at all. It doesn’t really cover the countryside objectively either. More a shop window for the “environment” lobby most of the time. Should be called “Envirofile”

The realisation that food may actually be important.

Or there’s a lot about walking on it too, could call it pedo…...

actually, no, that’s not a good idea, what with the BBC’s track record.

And that it's also incumbent on the Beeb to correct the lies spouted by anti-farming factions?
