As the Farmers Guardian have received word from the minister of agriculture that there is a lack of care for our uplands. Farmers play a vital role in keeping the countryside in such good order managing fields, hedgerows, and vast hills. Unfortunately, there is a plan to pay vast sums of money to major landowners in the uplands to destock sheep and remove the tenant farmers from the land.
The sheep we are talking about have generations of the same bloodlines running on those hills, knowing them, and teaching the next generation of lambs how to live upon them. They are going to destroy a technique that has been used for centuries.
