# 1390# 1389A very sad sight indeed. My local farmer has decided to return his land to intensive arable use after almost 10 years of it being left fallow (Seeing as how his hopes for selling it off for housing have gone for the foreseeable future). Criminal, really. The foxes, rabbits and pheasants seen running for their lives thought likewise.
