Farmers about

[figbat]

Seriously? On your travels in the Countryside, the activity is notable by its absence.

They get away with a lot more mess than almost any other industry.

I live right in the middle of an arable farming area that I cycle and walk in most days. They are literally keeping us alive and come harvest time are working all hours to do so. The tracks and trails around here are also littered with hedge trimmings, but so be it - the price of them keeping the food chain alive and keeping the countryside accessible. They have to wait until now to allow birds to fledge.

Greed that's the punchline.

Disappointed to find that this thread isn't an announcement for the return a Beadle's About type programme.

some of those farmyards are in a terrible state - I gather that many of their animals aren't even potty trained.

Leave it a couple of days for the passing traffic to break the clippings down and and keep out of the road gutters BM and you should be OK for another year.

Hedges only cut once a year round here, about now. Well, when I say 'cut'... smashed to bits with a flail!

J'accuse @mudsticks!

Sorry, what have I done now..

Not swept the whole length and breadth of UK* roads with a yard brush??

Yup ..Guilty as charged.

*I think this would be an excellent 'Green Gym' activity for folks needing some exercise and fresh air..

So long as they're wearing appropriate high-visof course

.. I was hoisted by one of my own brambles from one of my own unflailed hedges, on the roadside, cycling past the other day..

Right across the upper arm

Another damned if we do , dammed if if we do not situation right..??

The majority of farmers pay a contractor to do hedge trimming nowadays..
I can imagine their faces if we instructed them to tidy up with a broom afterwards

Trigger finds that most hawthorn clippings spring back in the opposite direction to the yard brush sweep anyway, or stick in the crevices in the road surface...

A good hard yard brush would do it

It doesn't, and we went metric years ago meaning it's a metre brush not a yard brush now.
