[QUOTE="delilah, post: 8003089, member: 76758"] The more I think about this, the more annoyed I get. Most of the farmland in this parish is farmed by folks who are based outside the parish, 5 to 20 miles away. Which is, in no way, a criticism of them. They can be said to be the intelligent ones, the ones who have followed the advice and market signals over recent decades: Grow or go. What this does mean, however, is that they weren't the folks out clearing the roads. That was the little people. The people you are going to be taking all support away from. I pointed all of this out some time ago in the attached. Please, take heed. edit: As asked in the attached: [I]Defra You like surveys. Here’s one for you to conduct. Of the 9000 rural parishes in England, how many now have no independent, full time farming business registered in them? Compared to, say, 30 years ago.[/I] [/QUOTE]
