I will be glad to hear that is the case.
The issue of the hen harrier is a source of major concern for more than 4,000 farmers. Has money been made available to address their concerns? I understand 4,600 farmers have, effectively, had their land sterilised for many years. Is anything being done in that regard?
I welcome any positive measure taken for farming communities, particularly in weaker and more deprived areas.
