We are being pressured to up for the badger culling in Devon.
We don't have any cattle anymore and therefore TB doesn't really affect us.
My mother is very unsure about signing up in case the list of farms gets leaked and we end up getting protesters on our doorstep (my mum is on the farm her own at night). We also have a non ag business running from the farm that could do without the publicity this might bring.
The cost is relatively little (a flat rate per acre plus a per head of cattle of which we have none).
Our neighbours seem split (some are actively trying to sell the concept to other farmers, others are against it including some with cattle themselves.
