Did anyone see the item on some telly program last night about an arable farmer from the eastern counties taking haylage and silage to North Wales.
Apparently, the bad weather has affected these farmers so badly they need this help.
On the face of it quite a nice gesture. Trouble is I can't help thinking about all the advantages there are associated with farming, subsidies and such, yet still they struggle.
On one or two shots of the farms you could see massive 4x4's, new tractors, quads, loaders. Does farming a few sheep and cattle really justify all this machinery?
I don't think I'd like the finance bill for some of these farmers.
Still a nice gesture from the barley baron part of the country.
I wonder if English tourists will benefit, and stop having the P taken in Welsh, when they're spending in the shops.
