I did the same when I read the headline! But it is not actually about re wilding. Seems to me to be about farming in a more ecologically friendly and beneficial way. Rather than just pumping inputs and making other people rich.I'll admit. upon first reading it i reacted like most. However seeing your twitter Adam. I have re read it. You often speak very well and i respect your views.
I actually think its a good idea!
You think what is a good idea @Robt ?I'll admit. upon first reading it i reacted like most. However seeing your twitter Adam. I have re read it. You often speak very well and i respect your views.

What they are thinking of doing to the poorer parts of the farm rather than intensive farming. Thats how i have read it? Am i wrong?You think what is a good idea @Robt ?
This particular line. If this is what they are planning then, yes i agree it is a good idea.I'm probably being thick, but did you mean the rewilding idea was good?
Sorry I replied before you answered my question! Yes, in principle the idea is a nice one, minus bison and lynx. However, if you knew they state of the Somerleyton estate and how it was managed, suddenly in reality, it doesn't seem all that great. I don't fancy following directions from a snob of a landowner who distances himself reality and keep his own estate in order.What they are thinking of doing to the poorer parts of the farm rather than intensive farming.

Which tenant do you mean @Tim G? PM me if you like.I guess this is the same Somerleyton Estate who had a tenant farming regenerativly, into diversity etc etc and has served notice to that tenant?
I don’t understand the whole “farmers shouldn’t drive nice cars or go on holiday nonsense. It’s ridiculous.Another load of toilet paper material from the Guardian .
Good for the 3 so called farmers who are driving around in there fancy Range Rover and enjoying there adventures on the ski slopes .
Don’t think this is how most farmers live there lives .
I've pmd, although the tenant was quite rightly vocal about it!Which tenant do you mean @Tim G? PM me if you like.
£450/monthI don’t understand the whole “farmers shouldn’t drive nice cars or go on holiday nonsense. It’s ridiculous.
I was driving through town yesterday and a nurse in uniform pulled onto the roundabout in front of me driving a brand new Range Rover Velar. My thoughts were a) nice car, fair play. B) nurses must earn a decent wage as that’s a nicer car than mine.
My thoughts weren’t bloody nurses driving round in range rovers and going on holiday!
What annoys me is when farmers, with large amounts of inherited land claim they can’t farm without subsidies. But still have 3 kids at boarding school and all the range rovers etc. It’s like that stuff is a good given right and doesn’t even emerge their minds. I’ve heard it an an nfu meeting. Unreal.I don’t understand the whole “farmers shouldn’t drive nice cars or go on holiday nonsense. It’s ridiculous.

That’s true although it’s also true that every industry receives subsidies or benefits of some kind, so I don’t think farmers should be ashamed of subsidies. It should be capped though, that’s for certain.What annoys me is when farmers, with large amounts of inherited land claim they can’t farm without subsidies.
