Do we have a two-speed legal system in the world of the countryside? One for farmers and one for the rest of us? Sometimes it seems that way when you are herded off the road by mighty tractors bearing unstable loads; covered in mud by the leavings from a tractor's tyres on the highway; or have your tyres punctured by careless leavings of hedge clippings.
But ... would you really have it any other way. These guys are at the front line of food production. Without them we would only import food and be dependent on others for our daily bread - literally. They need the space to do what they need to do and sometimes, we just have to put up with the consequences. Bird scarers though, aren't they a step too far?
