We’ve never had much trouble touch wood , but the last couple of weeks there’s been folks driving over most farms locally , over drilled crops and stubble turnips etc. Locked our gates now as they’d been left open for muck spreading etc.

Not a lot of ditches needed on sand.
If I dig a ditch I lose another 2m of land.
No easy option.

Theres always a way , maybe not that easy as you say , you need to make it unattractive / very difficult to enter your land so they go on your neighbours .

I worked in a place in Hampshire 12 years ago that was seriously rough this time of year, I was told by the manager that if I saw lights on the fields to lock the doors and stay inside, every night for 8 weeks I was there they were out somewhere, spraying was annoying as there were IBC’s filled with stones or concrete in every gate so a telehandler had to go in front and wait while you sprayed. I remember putting in a lovely set of gates on the estate entrance one day and the next morning they were fubared, ripped off completely, a block was put in the middle so anyone coming in and out had to phone before to get the telehandler to move the block.

Hope you poured a can of petrol over it and gave it the swan vestas. Or pumped it full of slurry.

But then they just go through the hedges by the gates.

These grant schemes that pay for hedge planting including the spiral guards, someone needs to design a steel spike that looks like a tree guard, that goes a few feet down in the ground and sticks out at sump height, the grant schemes should pay for one of these to be sunk in the ground every few feet. To protect the hedge.
