[QUOTE="Coximus, post: 3598482, member: 12800"] Well as a new entrant of my own back, and Young farmer to boot - I can certainly say I have some feeling that their is more to the story than meets the eye, but then again BBC don’t really care do they? Its a feel good story for people who walk fido on the edge of the city and visit a national park twice a year, to let them feel informed about the countryside. ; I mean, I had a serious couple last week tresspassing through a field of draft swales, adamant they were rams because they had horns, who when I started to escort them off the field (and get the effing retriever back on a lead) started to TELL me about the profit in growing courgettes and why british farmers ( in lower wharfedale, on clay over grit that can poach itself in sunshine) are stuck in their ways. Thats what its aimed for......... a little bit of info to keep the masses feeling informed. Fact, Farming relevance and quality reporting are not really the top priorities. As for me - Some people wonder how I've done it, Similar I supposes to the cattle guy - I've brought alot of basket case draft ewes over the years, and Molasses, good worming and good grass and many have come good, given me twins and on they go to market.... a good way of getting a base flock up and running.
