While on the subject of Farms, dog fouling on agricultural land remains a real problem. Grass is a valuable crop; one farmer has been unable to use hay taken off this year, due to the level of pollution caused by dogs. Would you like to eat dogs mess? No, nor do cows. Please be responsible owners and bag it up and take it home with you, even if the fouling is in a field.
