Police in Thames Valley in England have warned farmers to look out for their hay.
“Please think of ways of securing your hay” was the warning from the constabulary – it wasn’t their horse division.
It’s easier said than done.
Fields are not easily locked, and hay is harder to tag than tractors or horses. What can a farmer do?
As we contemplate the harvesting of millions of quids worth of unprotected corn, what do the police expect next, opportunist theft by cereal offenders?
