Farmers on uplands are ‘losing out*


UPLAND farmers are reported to be worse off under the latest Government


support schemes. A visit to Sabden Old


Hall Farm and Pendle­ ton Hall Farm by Mr William Jenkins, the chairman of the Less- Favoured Areas Com­ mittee of the National Farmers' Union (NFU), has enabled him to dis­ cuss the issues facing upland farmers. Less-favoured areas


are those in which farms are disadvantaged by topography, the associ­ ated reduction in choices of farming and in avail­ ability of support schemes. Both farms visited by


Mr Jenkins have grazing on Pendle Hill and are considered to be in such an area. Mr Rodney Bacon,


policy adviser NFU North-West, said that it appeared from anecdotal evidence that farmers in these areas are losing out under the latest upland


support scheme, com­ pared to the scheme it replaced. He said: "Farmers are


questioning the Govern­ ment's commitment to the farmer and to the farming community in Britain." Regarding the tours of


the farms and the open meeting held in Chip­ ping Village Hall, he added: "I t was better than a delegates' meet­ ing in London. The visit gave Mr Jenkins more of a feel for the issues facing upland farmers.” Environmental issues,

PERSONAL memories penned during a Second World War evacuation have brought a Brighton author on a fact-find­ ing mission to the Ribble Valley. The wartime diaries of school­
