to the Home farm Beetle banks?
this is not to provoke stuff about hedge funds, I wonder if it made a difference to the planet?
They are still there (although not making much noise).
In fact they came up in our scriptmeeting yesterday, in a very small way, so may get a mention on air in March.

That's interesting Mr K - as set aside land, there's a very strong probability that such headlands and corners would have been ploughed-in back in the spring, following the EC's asinine, premature and abrupt ending of the set aside payment scheme.
I cannot see either Home Farm or Borchester Land being happy keeping such land idle and generating no income in the current agricultural climate.

Of course not. Christopher is a gentleman, and will make a withdrawal.

The fact that there is a shoot on the land is an issue that would encourage their retention, of course.

Good point, Mr K. And as BL & HF are both the land users /and/ the Shoot, that makes life much easier.
As a rough shoot we're having the very devil of a job clinging on to our game strips and the headlands, and convincing the farmers to leave arish and winter stubble.
