FOUR prominent Lanca­ shire Mi’ s dug out their wellies to take a walk round a Kibble Valley bill farm and discover for themselves the problems encountered by the farm­ ing community. Mr Peter Pike (Burn­


MPs don wellies for farming fact-finding tour


t h e r e b e fo r e th em . ICdward has a son and


ley), Mr John Lee (Nelson ami Colne), Mr Ken Har­ greaves (Ilyndburn) and Mi- Alistair Burt (Bury North) spent an hour in the company of brothers Edward and John Parkin­ son at their Hareden Farm home, Dunsop Bridge, before a working lunch at the P a rk e r s ’ A rm s , Newton. The MPs, accompanied


by NFU officials, were on a fact-finding tour in which the importance of agricul­ ture in the uplands was explained.


First stop for the party


was a lull farm at Oaken- clougli, near Garstang, with t!()l) acres of improved land and 1,000 acres of moorland qualifying for governmental support as a. severely disadvantaged area.


From there it was on to


the Kibble Valley, where the delegates were met by the brothers and their wives, Jean and Kowena, and shown round the 2,700-acre farm. Tile Parkinson brothers


have lived in the village all their lives and their father, who still enjoys lending a hand, farmed


daughter and John three (laughters. Landlord of the farm is


North West Water. The Parkinsons have a a flock of 1,050 pure Swaledale sheep and B0 suckler cows, with JOO acres of improved land, of which only half is accessible by vehicle. A year ago, in a move to


increase the flexibility of their business and improve margins, the brothers decided to erect sheep housing. After ultra scanning,


the ewes found to have twin lambs are put in the housing, which also dou­ bles as a fattening unit for wether lambs, in time for lambing in April. Lambing continues throughout that month.


Mr Kdward Parkinson


said things had tightened up during the year. The reasons were explained to the visiting MPs and union representatives.


Farmer Mr Henry Bain-


bridge, of Stake House Farm, O a k cn c lou gh , stressed to the MPs the importance o f the Hill Livestock Compensatory Allowance payment. It was, he said, tradi­ tionally the main source of


sonable living, but over the last two years, the value of the payments has been eroded by up to ‘10%. Couple that with infla­


tion, high interest rates, the community charge and ever increasing rents and the farmers were left with no more than a bare living. As a result, Mr Bainbridge said smaller flocks of 300 ewes or less were simply unviable. Due to the fa c to r s


involved, it was impera­ tive that the HLCA pay­ ment be raised to the highest amount allowable. If initiatives suggested by the NFU were not imple­ mented, the country could lose farmers with the skills and knowledge for manag­ ing the hill landscape which had been created by h i l l f a rm e r s o v e r centuries. “ If the Department of


the Knvironment and the Ministry of Agriculture cannot work together and grasp the nettle, a costly environmental disaster l o o m s , ” w a r n e d Mi - Bainbridge. NFU spokesman Mr


income, providing a rea­ we want to make sure


Roger Ward said the union intended to ensure that Members of Parliament understood the implica­ tions of hill farming. "If they are to legislate,


they are fully equipped with as much information as possible, before plan­ ning the future of agricul­ ture in less favoured areas.” Mr Ward added that the


recent action by French livestock farmers had focused attention on the difficulties of the meat and livestock industries in some European countries, including the UK. Acute financial difficul­


ties resulted from a num­ ber of causes including


imports of beef from East Germany, reduced EC support, changes in eating habits, BSE, interest rates and inflation in import prices — all threa­ tening the business of livestock producers' in the uplands and lowlands.


The NFU belived that


trade wars between Euro­ pean countries was not the solution; instead the organisation had reached agreement with the lead­ ers of the French farmers' o rganisat ion and was advocating a common solution.


The NFU has 3,700


members in Lancashire, of which 1,000 are hill farmers. M r W a r d s a i d h e thought the MPs were rather shocked to hear


just how much farmers were left with at the end of the day and one asked if they were tempted to sell up and put their money in the building society. “ Agriculture Minister


Mr John Glimmer is exa­ mining ways of adjusting the subsidy to make farm ing in the hills more environmentally fa v o u r- able,” explained Mr Ward. “We hope MPs will add pressure to make sure he comes out with a package w h i c h b e n e f i t s everybody.” Our picture shows MPs

began when he took early retirement in 1083. He is a member o f Craven Art Club and has exhibited his paintings in various Dales villages. The miniature figures


are by Mrs J . ' Hunter, of Sutton-in-Cravon, who has made various types of soft toys, and rag dolls during the past 10 years. After looking in library hooks, she decided to make min­ iature figures with the use of heads and pipe cleaners. Toymaking began as a


hobby for Mrs Hunter after her retirement, hut she now runs a full-time business with her son, making a large range of items, from small cushions to musical clowns.


Residential


THE Kibble Valley Coun­ cil's Planning Committee has approved an applica­ tion to make a Waddingtyn farm building residential. The plan, for the con­


version of a redundant agricultural building to residential use at Lower Buck Farm, Ed is ford R o a d , W a d d in g to u , received the full hacking of councillors.

.1 !i HOSTED BY NEIL HODGKINSON - LAPIDUS REPRESENTATIVE FOR NORTHERN


ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. NEIL WILL BE EXPLAINING THE UNIQUE FEATURES OF LAPIDUS MENSWEAR EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WEEK-DAYS

NEIL HODGKINSON LAPIDUS REPRESENTATIVE F


Lapidus of Sweden started making clothes with one objective in mind - "EASY CARE". Many busy people, they argued, did not want to waste precious business or leisure time ironing and pressing clothes and most of the existing "easy-care" fabrics were aimed at the cheaper end of the market which the resulting clothes very often looked. Lapidus INVENTED a yarn from which they make their trousers, knitwear and shirts, one of their cloths being their world renowned "Cord-u-Roy". The basis of their whole operation along with computer controlled knitting machines which use thousands of needles. From this yarn they make clothing which is unique. Apart from the knitwear, it looks like the conventional materials usually used for trousers, jackets and shirts but with the added benefits of being washable, non-creasing and so comfortable - a .boon to the motorist! Lapidus also include a small range of men's suits. Not cheap, of course, but DIFFERENT and that is why we are putting oh a special show for the next few weeks. Please come along so that we can show you these superb garments and, if you try them on, you will feel the difference for yourself. Reverting to shirts (any make of shirt that is), we encourage our customers to try them on in the shop before purchase, if they wish. Shirt fittings can vary very much not only between makes but even in the same brand, especially if manufactured in different factories. So, try them on if you have time - maybe you'll discover a new world. ETERNA are a "Full Size" shirt with a rather longer sleeve, LAPIDTJS are a "Fitted" type whilst ROCOLA fall somewhere between.
