National Farmers thought of the day.

National Farmers Union raised concerns with Defra (Department of farming and rural affair)s, regarding increased members of public using footpaths near farmyards, gardens, and homes. There is also a concerning risk to livestock due to increased dog walkers. Following extensive lobbying Defra have now released new guidance on Public Rights of Way. The new guidance provided farmers with notices to use in order to alert the public, it has also given farmers the option to offer alternative walking routes.
