That's just common sense. Otherwise they'll just shit in your field.

{{{ Well if you'd built your farm the other way round with the main building at the lane end and the fields where the buildings are- I could shit in your barn instead on my way home from the Duck 'n' Muck And I could usethe straw for bog roll. Got to be better than cranberry leaves they are so fiddly, and already wet. }}

You're welcome to try, but my bull might have something to say about it...

{{{{ Now you see thats exactly the sort of irresponsible behaviour that gives farmers such a bad name with poor innocent drunkards who are just innocently and quietly passing through and helping to increase the yield with extra, all natural, free manure.

Ive seen some 'odd sods' doing daft stuff like that down here also. To be honest I think if there's a price on something people will go for it. If you knew you could get say....£1000 per ton on scrap metal, youde do it. The Government will make paupers of us all.

This isn't about my home its about yours !! You guys in Auzzieland...
