[QUOTE="Formatted, post: 7463633, member: 19062"] The thing is that modern farm has damaged the environment, you just need to look at our skies on a summers day and the number of swifts and swallows it half what it was 10 years ago, and that is largely down to reduced insect populations. Our rivers are filled with pesticides and nitrates from poor spray, fertilizer and manure application management. The government has to legislate so farmers cannot cut hedges during nesting season otherwise they would! etc We do need to do more, there are many farmers who do good, you might be one of them but farmers who burn plastic at weekends, prop up fences with wooden pallets and tie gates up with barded wire need a serious talking to and your message will be better received by the public if you come forward with a bit of supplication. I am not a fan of the NFU, but they are embracing the Net Zero message which the public are into right now whilst at the same time defending farmers. [/QUOTE]
