Yes, I found it interesting too. It surprises me that farmers are not regarded with respect according to the article. Perhaps because I was brought up on the edge of suburbia, I have always been aware of farmers and was brought up to respect them and their land and stock. We have found. since we have been working the wood, that some people regard us as 'just contractors or outdoor workers' and seem to have no respect for us. I am afraid it gives me a very low regard for them.
