In the last years of the 20th century, Glenfeshie, a 17,000-hectare estate in the Scottish Highlands, was in steep decline. Decades of overgrazing by deer had reduced its hillsides to clipped lifelessness. Denied the protection afforded by tree roots, the banks of the River Feshie were losing soil each time it flooded, the water depositing silt downstream.
Vince_Rookery very long read, its back to the old saying if you are rich and buy or inherit a farm with money so you don't need to live from your farm and no borrowings you can make all the these wonderful schemes work, if you are a NUT paying £200+ rent to milk more cows you are doomed
No food, no Society to worry about. At least no ridiculous Guardian.
Interesting article. lots of info on how much they are spending but no mention at all on how much EU subsidies these estates recieve simply for sitting on the land as well as the current financial incentives for regenerating hedgerows and scrub land

First the animals, now the land. Do they want us to EatTheRich?

Wisconsin's dairy farmers see bleak future for 'America's Dairyland'Collapsing prices, the rise of mega farms in warmer states and fluctuations in demand have led to a spate of bankruptcies But are still leaning Trump. SMH Undeniably cruel, horrible for the environment and totally unnecessary and unnatural. These facts can't be denied and now the industry is reliant on people who simply don't care. Those numbers will fall more and more over time so it is a dying industry. Time to diversify. Time to disinvest from the animal economy! Veganism is the future.
