going in the industry gen erally, with the cut in government grants to less well-off farms, money is really tight in the hills. Many farmers simply can’t afford to keep their sons on to farm with them. "As a result, the farm

ing industry is getting older and older. Many farms have been passed down from generation to generation; that is espe cially the case in the hills, where many farmers feel they have come to the end of the line,” added Mr Whitwell who, at the age of 48, has farmed all his life on land that has been passed down through gen erations of his family. Another result of the
tendency to opt out of agriculture, pointed to by the NFU, is the potential loss of traditional farming sk ills , such as stone walling. Mr Whitwell believed
such a skills gap could alter the face of the Lan cashire landscape: “ If these skills are lost, walls will disappear and the whole beauty of the coun tryside could be altered. It is a v e r y di f f i c ul t problem.”
