You did, and your even-handedness in that regard was much appreciated, but still disagree on the wider issue...
m300572 - I just wonder about who is going to seek to do the persuading (the area is not even within EH's conservation plan for the Henges) and what they will do if the farmer says 'no'. I am not an expert on the stewardship scheme, but from all I have read about it, the financial compensation is insufficient (i.e. the farmer could make more by continuing to plough).
