Communications

The Gorse Fox read with interest one criticism that farmers would not know of the ban on livestock movements "unless they happened to see the news".

"Pardon?"

What does the author expect? A personal visit to every farm in the country? The information is all over the radio, the TV and the internet. If farmers are ill-informed it is because they have chosen to be.

(When the new system is complete - if budget constraints ever get sorted out - it would be possible to email and even fax every farm, where they have provided email addresses or fax numbers)
