Clive this is what they have been wanting since FMD ,Paid park keeper sounds a lot easier way to make a living than drilling in a season where the rain never stops !
If that’s what people want from Uk farmers and are prepared to pay for then why are we so resistant ?
Grass all the heavy land ,and what was water or flood meadows ,bring the live stock more east ,instead of hauling feed west ,less pollution from these mega livestock farms in the wetter areas , plant it up with trees ,and keep the grassland it grazed lightly to keep the tourist areas tidy . convert all the old buildings to tourist accomadation ,ie ,scotland ,lakes dales ,etc , and they could farm tourists instead of amimals ,and just keep a few traditional stock .
Have the livestock where the feed is like they used to do hundreds of cattle came east to be finished ,
Use the muck to grow stuff in the bread basket ,veg growing areas , grass on the heavy blackgrass land ,
