cies which decided, in the 1970s. that subsidies should be introduced into farming to encourage production and to ensure that home production met consumer demand. I realise that now the aim has been achieved — and unfortunately surpassed — this subsidy sy s ­ tem is unnecessary and even an embarrassment to the farming community. It also opens up the industry to c r it ic ism based on envy - a major factor. I suspect, in I ) . Kobinson’s rumblings.

Th e resident realised

and called the police. Tin- l hit-1‘ was stop]ted


by Wi.ean police la te r in the d ay. w h ile the pots were still in the van. He told police be was plaiiniIili to paint them white and sell them for "a few quid.” John Sh a rrock (LiT). of

Be in no doubt, the subsidies are gradually p>in.e


and will continue to be ratcheted down in order to brine,' farmin.u nearer the market place. Subsidies have been an important part of a farmer’s income particularly our hill and livestock producers and it behoves the Government which decided to intro­ duce them, and thereby distort the market, to ensure that farmers art- yiven enough time to restructure their business to cope with their removal. The rest of D. Kobinson’s let ter develops from


a statement of envy based on the so-called "molly­ coddling’ of farmers and pies into a phase of wide- eyed hysteria --- peddling myth after myth, exapuer ation after exapu'eration. and heapinp b ip it ry onto misinformat ion. Here are a few of the letter's distortions . . . It supm-sts fa rm e rs are rootinii out hedp-s.


Where? When? The Kibble Valiev is full of well-kept bedp-s and well-maintained walls and there are still enotiph hedp-s on Knidish and Welsh farms to circle the earth 1 '2 times. .And. by the Government's latest f ip ures , farmers are now actu a lly planting more hedp-s than they are removing or an* beinp down­ graded through neylect. The le t te r supuests wild tlowers are heitiu des­


troyed. without ment ioiiinu the declining use of dauKiyin.u pesticides (down 1SG sinct- 19.s !9; use of more selective sprays on Held headlands to allow wild flowers to flourish (now widely adopted); the larp- uptake of traditional meadow manap-meiit schemes under the Environmentally Sensitive .Areas (l-'SAs) scheme, or widespread farmer membership of such conservation proups as ( T K F . and FWAG (Fanning and Wildlife .Advisory Group) - larp-ly administered by fanners. The letter supp-sls farmers do not have a "unique


and urn [lies! i enable” ripht to the prass on t heir farms, but rab bits , "these pentle c re a tu n - s .” should In- allowed a rbare of the harvest. Does D. Kobin>on know that prass is as much a man-manap-d crop as cereals? Ho rabbits have a unique ripht to eat your cabhapes in your parden. 1). Koliinson? 'flu* k-tter states that our "beautiful countryside"


was not created solely as a profit vehicle for farmers. Has it dawned on D. Kobinson that farmers are cur­ rent !y manapinp over N9( i of the landmass in the l ' K .’ 'flui suppestion that this countryside is "beautiful'' is a vindication of the pem-ral fanninp techniques in the F K . Finally, by constant reference to "unneeded meat"


tis then- such a thinp as unneeded meat in this trou­ bled, starvinp world with the population likely to double in the next 19 ye a rs? ). 1 have a sneakinp suspicion that D. Kobinson lias vepetarian tenden­ cies. A ll well and pood, but don't t ry to convert others thmuph disinformation.’'
