Rural policing and sheep

A damp morning at Totnes Show but everyone seemed to be in good spirits regardless of the weather.

I had a very useful discussion about rural policing, and several insightful chats with farmers about ELMS payments, carbon sequestration, milk prices and planning issues.

Gorgeous longwool sheep, beautiful Devon flowers (which can be shipped UK wide), bees and locally produced vodka from South Hams potatoes - now that is what I call innovative diversification!

Thanks to everyone who gave their time to talk to me about real issues that matter to local businesses.
