Opposition to large farms 'stifling UK agriculture'

It appears the intensive campaign against the plans of Nocton Dairies is somehow deep-seated in the farming psyche. It won't be forgotten in a hurry!

"The highest profile examples include the so-called Nocton ‘super dairy’, which failed to get off the ground in Lincolnshire after fierce opposition in 2010 and 2011, the proposed 2,500-sow Foston pig unit, in Derbyshire, and the 1,000-cow Powys dairy unit that finally got the go ahead after a long planning battle."
