Not the only way to go. We surround Knepp and have every wild species they have and always have had from before rewilding AND we produce lots of food from a diverse landscape for a fraction of the public money.

Farmer 'heartbroken and furious' after 16 lambs killed in dog attack
Significantly tightened legislation seems to be doing little to prevent free running dogs attacking sheep in Scotland.

Farming being chased out by #development. Poignant moment realising that I will be the last person to undertake a farming activity on this land. Hedges being removed & soil stripped while a barn owl hunted, and yet its farmers doing the damage? What's the end game plan?

This poem by Don Merrell sums up what I wanted to say this farm safety week much better than my own words. Please look our for each other and donโt be afraid / shy / embarrassed to say something when you see an unsafe situation #FarmSafetyWeek

Itโs not everyday you explain the intricacies of a quality silage to a member of the Royal family!
Talking to the Countess of Wessex was part of an excellent day with @WcaShow and local secondary schools looking at farming careers, cow nutrition, breeding and welfare.
