:00:08. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight:

:00:11. > :00:21.Farmers say the price of food will continue to rise and more will go

:00:21. > :00:22.

:00:22. > :00:27.out of business unless the government steps in. We need a

:00:27. > :00:29.greater return to make our industry financially viable and profitable.

:00:29. > :00:36.The seagulls in Bridlington that businesses claim are hitting them

:00:36. > :00:39.in the pocket. A �100 million shopping development

:00:39. > :00:49.planned for Lincoln. Hull's newest millionaires

:00:49. > :00:49.

:00:49. > :00:58.celebrate their lucky win. A I will have the forecast later in

:00:58. > :01:01.Good evening. The price of food will continue to

:01:01. > :01:04.rise if more help is not given to farmers. Food growers in East

:01:04. > :01:06.Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are calling for the Government to

:01:06. > :01:12.provide more support for the industry as inflation figures today

:01:12. > :01:17.showed food prices rising sharply. There were big increases in the

:01:17. > :01:26.cost of bread, cereals, meat, milk, cheese and eggs. Caroline Bilton

:01:26. > :01:32.reports. At the pumps, at the tales, we are

:01:32. > :01:38.all pay more. Today's inflation figures are proof of that. Basics

:01:38. > :01:43.such as bread and milk have gone up in price. It is not just us, the

:01:43. > :01:50.consumer, paying more. Those who grew and produce our food are also

:01:50. > :01:57.feeling the strain. All our costs have gone up, like everybody's else.

:01:57. > :02:00.We are not seen the increase in revenue from our cells. Add the

:02:00. > :02:10.Great Yorkshire Show today, there were many more with stories of hard

:02:10. > :02:11.

:02:11. > :02:17.times. The frosty weather can have a bad effect on the food. We had to

:02:17. > :02:22.0.4 mm of rain in April, which was really serious. It Yorkshire, food

:02:22. > :02:27.producer generate more than �1.7 billion for the economy every year.

:02:27. > :02:34.The NFU is warning today that Yorkshire producers are struggling.

:02:34. > :02:40.It is because of the recent extreme weather. Some people are facing

:02:40. > :02:45.losses of up to �1.2 million. nothing changes, we will see

:02:45. > :02:48.agricultural production continued to decline in the UK. When we have

:02:48. > :02:53.years like this, with a drought in the spring and a very hard winter,

:02:53. > :02:57.we have to look to other countries around the world to feed us. We won

:02:57. > :03:01.the government to look at taxation policies, employment, training,

:03:01. > :03:05.skills, to make sure we make British agriculture more

:03:05. > :03:10.competitive and more productive. Many believe receiving a fair price

:03:11. > :03:17.for their food is crucial in achieving that. What we are looking

:03:17. > :03:21.for is a greater, improved share of the money that is received by the

:03:21. > :03:25.supermarkets for the sale of our products. If that happened, I think

:03:25. > :03:30.our businesses would become much more profitable and we could invest

:03:30. > :03:34.in it for the future. But some believe that farmers can do a lot

:03:34. > :03:38.for themselves. Matthew is one of the consortium of pea growers, who

:03:38. > :03:46.have launched a new brand of P. They have just signed a deal to

:03:46. > :03:51.supply them to Tesco's across the North of England. Farmers must try

:03:51. > :03:57.to create a niche, create a pot of difference, and sell themselves

:03:57. > :04:00.into the market. The market is not going to come to me. You have to go

:04:00. > :04:04.to the market and create the opportunities. Changing the way

:04:04. > :04:09.they work has paid off for this farmers, but that will not work for

:04:09. > :04:12.everyone. That is why the NFU of what the government to recognise

:04:12. > :04:18.the challenges facing farmers in the future, so that we, the

:04:18. > :04:21.consumer, do not end up paying more in the long run.

:04:21. > :04:31.Lord Henley, from the Department for the Environment and Rural

:04:31. > :04:32.

:04:32. > :04:37.Affairs, told me was looking at how to get farmers a better deal.

:04:37. > :04:43.government is addressing it. We are bringing in an adjudicator who will

:04:43. > :04:47.help arbitrate. You need to get this right, otherwise food is just

:04:47. > :04:53.going to go up and up for people who are watching the television

:04:53. > :04:58.tonight. We do not want food to become expensive. We what the

:04:58. > :05:02.consumer to get a fair deal, but we also want the farmers to get a fair

:05:02. > :05:09.deal from the supermarkets. Any inequality between them needs to be

:05:09. > :05:13.addressed. Away to dependence on imported food? No, we are not. We

:05:13. > :05:17.produce 75 % of the through to we want. When it comes to things like

:05:17. > :05:22.bananas, we have to import this because we cannot produce that.

:05:22. > :05:27.There are opportunities for fruits grown here to be exported elsewhere.

:05:27. > :05:34.There is their point talking about protectionism in third. We want to

:05:34. > :05:39.give people a choice about what food they have. We will go on

:05:39. > :05:46.producing food here. The NFU wants to see the government help local

:05:46. > :05:51.producers in a way that will makers not rely on import so much. There

:05:51. > :05:55.is nothing wrong with imports. We want to do what we can to encourage

:05:55. > :05:58.people to buy British food where they can, because British food is

:05:59. > :06:06.probably best, but they should have the opportunity to import food as

:06:06. > :06:09.they wish. Lord Henley, effective. Lord Henley talking to me earlier.

:06:09. > :06:12.What help do you think the Government should give farmers?

:06:12. > :06:22.What can be done to control the cost of food? Let us know what you

:06:22. > :06:39.

:06:39. > :06:43.And you for watching the this Tuesday night. -- thank-you for

:06:43. > :06:45.watching this Tuesday night. In a moment:

:06:45. > :06:48.Hull University honours the sports star turned charity fundraiser.

:06:48. > :06:51.Seagulls swooping to steal fish and chips from tourists in Bridlington

:06:51. > :06:54.are being blamed for costing businesses their money. So many

:06:54. > :07:01.people are suffering assaults by the birds that owners are having to

:07:01. > :07:10.give away free food in compensation. Crispin Rolfe is in Bridlington for

:07:10. > :07:14.us tonight. Crispin, just how big is this problem?

:07:15. > :07:21.His considerable one, when you consider this is the nation's

:07:21. > :07:25.favourite food. The question is, how do you managed to steal some of

:07:25. > :07:28.these from any one of these shops across the front of the seafront

:07:28. > :07:34.and bring them here without been bad Bond so you can eat them in

:07:34. > :07:37.peace? The problem for businesses is that when people lose their

:07:37. > :07:44.chips to see goals, the businesses are having to pay for new portions,

:07:44. > :07:47.so that is costing them. For a pack of seagulls, these trips

:07:47. > :07:52.takes seconds to demolish. Chip shops are more Bridlington's

:07:52. > :07:56.seafront said they are devouring mother does fried potatoes. Every

:07:57. > :08:00.time they still make a stab's food, it costs money. He they dive-bomb

:08:00. > :08:04.and there is nothing you can do about it. The customers come back

:08:04. > :08:14.to us and we have to give them the money, we feel obliged to give them

:08:14. > :08:21.

:08:21. > :08:25.the food. It is out of somebody's wages. People need to keep the

:08:25. > :08:34.chips covered up until they get sat down. Part of the problem is people

:08:34. > :08:40.feeding the seagulls. We have got a Dalmatians, keeping them at bay. I

:08:40. > :08:46.would advise people to bring a dog a long! They are an issue. They

:08:46. > :08:52.pester people. We have been having fish and chips, and they have come

:08:52. > :09:01.and grab them out of your hand. Very cheeky. Must make you feel

:09:01. > :09:04.uncomfortable. A bit, I suppose. A bit scary. What can be done? The

:09:04. > :09:09.RSPB says Segal numbers are declining, and may have been forced

:09:09. > :09:14.inland to find food. Instead of calling birds, is it a case of

:09:14. > :09:18.controlling human behaviour? People can take easy steps and not feed

:09:18. > :09:25.the birds. It is a nice thing to do if you do not come into contact

:09:25. > :09:29.with beds very often. The council is playing its part in clearing up

:09:29. > :09:33.unused food. We are asking people not to feed the sea eagles, and to

:09:33. > :09:37.put their unused food in the rubbish bins we have provided.

:09:37. > :09:44.There is a balance to be struck between nature and the modern world.

:09:44. > :09:48.In Bridlington, it seems that the see goals rule the roost.

:09:48. > :09:52.Bridlington may be the busiest seafood pot and the country, but

:09:52. > :09:58.according to the RSPB, the fish stocks are in decline. Naturally,

:09:58. > :10:01.their calls are coming inland. They are declining by 40 %. The RSPB

:10:01. > :10:05.says Colin is not an issue. The East Riding of Yorkshire council

:10:05. > :10:09.says that fining people is not something they are prepared to do

:10:09. > :10:14.for feeding the birds. I have seen a lot of people doing it today.

:10:14. > :10:19.What is the solution? The answer to that will have to come on a seaside

:10:19. > :10:23.postcard to Bridlington. Thank-you. What is the answer? Have

:10:23. > :10:33.you suffered at the hands of the beds in Bridlington? You may have a

:10:33. > :10:34.

:10:34. > :10:37.story on how to deal with the seagulls. Contact us.

:10:37. > :10:45.Humberside Fire and Rescue say sending crews to false alarms at

:10:46. > :10:48.local hospitals is a drain on resources. The fire service

:10:48. > :10:54.automatically sends two appliances every time an alarm sounds at a

:10:54. > :10:57.local hospital. Last Year they attended 72 call-outs at Hull Royal

:10:57. > :11:04.Infirmary, only two turned out to be real fires. They are now working

:11:04. > :11:11.with the NHS to review the system. To turn out to false alarms is a

:11:11. > :11:16.waste of resources. We are in discussions with the hospitals to

:11:16. > :11:18.come to some agreement to reduce the number of false alarms the fire

:11:18. > :11:22.service turn out to. An inquest has been opened and

:11:22. > :11:24.adjourned into the deaths of two people found dead in a car in North

:11:24. > :11:27.Lincolnshire on Friday. The men have been identified as Craig

:11:27. > :11:34.Harris, who was 44 and from Cleethorpes, and Naresh Kumar Ahir,

:11:34. > :11:36.who was 40 and from Wolverhampton. Their bodies were discovered in a

:11:36. > :11:39.car parked in a lane in Winteringham. Post mortem

:11:39. > :11:46.examinations have been conducted today and police are awaiting the

:11:46. > :11:49.outcome of further tests. More than �1 million has been

:11:49. > :11:52.pledged by North East Lincolnshire Council for a new road in Immingham.

:11:52. > :11:56.Plans to improve the A180 were put on hold by the Government last year.

:11:56. > :11:59.Local authorities now have to re- enter a bid for the upgrade which

:11:59. > :12:02.will cost around �5 million. A former sports star turned charity

:12:02. > :12:07.fundraiser has today been given an honorary degree by the University

:12:07. > :12:13.of Hull. Steve Prescott joined Hull FC in 1998, but just two years

:12:13. > :12:16.after retiring was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2006. Since

:12:16. > :12:20.then, Steve has dedicated his life to raising money for good causes

:12:20. > :12:30.and so far has received �300,000 through various challenges. Our

:12:30. > :12:36.

:12:37. > :12:42.sports reporter Simon Clark has more.

:12:42. > :12:47.I confer upon you have the big grey... A major moment for Dr Steve

:12:47. > :12:52.Prescott. He received a doctorate from the University of Hull's

:12:52. > :12:56.Chancellor, Virginia Bottomley. A I am overwhelmed that the people of

:12:56. > :13:03.Hull and a city of Paul and the University wants to bestow this on

:13:03. > :13:07.upon me. It is great. Steve Prescott made his name the

:13:07. > :13:12.first at St Helen's and then at Hull FC. Two years after retiring

:13:12. > :13:15.in 2004, he was struck down by cancer. Given months to live, he

:13:15. > :13:20.dedicated time to raising money doing extreme runs on cycles around

:13:20. > :13:27.Britain. �300,000 later, he has received the MBE and now this

:13:27. > :13:37.doctorate. Primarily, it is for services to the city, and we want

:13:37. > :13:37.

:13:37. > :13:41.to be associated with eminent people. I think my next challenge

:13:41. > :13:49.is delivering his speech today! That is what I am most nervous

:13:49. > :13:53.about! I have to address everybody today.

:13:53. > :14:03.It means a lot to be honoured by the University of Hall, the city

:14:03. > :14:05.

:14:05. > :14:09.that has been adopted home since 1998. Steve Prescott is not the

:14:09. > :14:16.only person with sporting connections been appreciated at

:14:16. > :14:21.Hull University. Another man is later on it later in the week.

:14:21. > :14:25.Today was a family affair. His wife and sons were joined by other

:14:25. > :14:31.relatives. He loves the team spirit when he is doing a challenge. It

:14:31. > :14:41.gives him something to focus on. Steve is in a clear for now from

:14:41. > :14:42.

:14:42. > :14:45.his illness, and he is planning his Still ahead tonight...

:14:45. > :14:50.The �100 million plan that developers claim would transform

:14:50. > :15:00.the centre of Lincoln. And toasting their success - the

:15:00. > :15:07.

:15:08. > :15:11.new millionaires celebrating their It that is a fantastic story. You

:15:11. > :15:14.will not want to miss it. This week's photograph is of Stone

:15:14. > :15:22.barge doing a three point turn on the Trent at Collingham, taken by

:15:22. > :15:26.Steve Harper of Spilsby. Thank you. Another picture tomorrow night at

:15:26. > :15:35.the same time. Paul is a way collecting his honorary degree -

:15:35. > :15:40.I think we should go to Bridlington again and you can picture hand in

:15:40. > :15:43.your pocket and buy me some chips! It has been a few years, yes! I am

:15:43. > :15:48.sure I would not be troubled by the birds with you!

:15:48. > :15:51.Thank you. Today has been fairly bright. We have seen a fair bit of

:15:51. > :15:57.cloud as well. Tomorrow could turn out to be brighter than today.

:15:57. > :16:03.Variable cloud and mostly dried. High pressure is not too far away

:16:03. > :16:06.keeping the weather fairly settled with the odd shower. You can see on

:16:06. > :16:10.the satellite picture of the Clyde has been breaking from the North.

:16:10. > :16:13.We do have some brightness out there to end the day. Some sunny

:16:13. > :16:19.spells the evening and through the night, it will stay dry with

:16:19. > :16:25.variable cloud, clear spells and the winds falling. The temperatures

:16:25. > :16:31.down to 12 degrees. Let's look at the sometimes across the region.

:16:31. > :16:37.The sun will rise at 447 am and setting at 9:26pm. Those are the

:16:37. > :16:42.high water times. Tomorrow, it will be a bright start to the day in

:16:42. > :16:45.places, particularly in the West. There will be some cloud. It would

:16:45. > :16:48.break up throughout the course of the day. We will see some bright

:16:48. > :16:53.and sunny spells, but it will also be thick enough to give the odd

:16:53. > :16:58.isolated, light shower at times. Not many of us will catch it, but

:16:58. > :17:05.it should be quite quick for those who do. Cooler on the coast of 16

:17:05. > :17:10.degrees. Inland, up to 18 degrees. As we head through Thursday, the

:17:10. > :17:13.weather stays very much the same. Variable cloud, sunny spells and a

:17:13. > :17:17.small chance of the odd shower. It should be feeling warmer by the

:17:17. > :17:23.time we get it there stage. Top temperature around average for this

:17:23. > :17:29.time of the year - 21 degrees. Friday - there will be a much

:17:29. > :17:33.higher chance of catching the rain, and it will get worse on Saturday.

:17:33. > :17:37.Somebody has just message me saying that it is still on the internet,

:17:37. > :17:44.the footage of me building sandcastles at! Unit the same but I

:17:44. > :17:46.The group behind a �100 million proposal to transform the centre of

:17:47. > :17:49.Lincoln says it is confident the development will go ahead.

:17:49. > :17:51.Lindongate would include a new shopping centre, bus station,

:17:51. > :17:54.restaurants and apartments. Landowners first announced the

:17:54. > :18:04.plans three years ago, but they've been on hold since the original

:18:04. > :18:06.

:18:06. > :18:10.developers hit financial problems. Historic since Full Street is a

:18:10. > :18:15.busy shopping area in the centre of the city. For years, there has been

:18:15. > :18:19.talk of redeveloping this area and the adjoining bus station. This

:18:19. > :18:23.morning's shoppers were cautiously optimistic about the new proposals.

:18:23. > :18:29.It will be a good thing if it does come off. But it has been in here

:18:29. > :18:34.so long. How big a shopping centre to be need? It could work out very

:18:34. > :18:39.good. It just depends what Parkin is supplied with that as well.

:18:39. > :18:43.is what is being proposed. �100 million worth of redevelopment to

:18:43. > :18:47.include shops, bars and restaurants and a new transport interchange. It

:18:47. > :18:51.is the kind of investment any city would be proud of. But there is no

:18:51. > :18:55.word yet on who is going to pay for it all. This project is being

:18:55. > :19:00.launched at a tough time for the high street. In Lincoln, 15% of the

:19:00. > :19:04.shops are empty at the moment. The company behind these proposals is

:19:04. > :19:08.confident it will succeed. If you look at a lot of towns and city

:19:08. > :19:12.centres across the UK, the retailing is going out of town.

:19:12. > :19:16.City centres are struggling. In Lincoln, we are lucky. We have a

:19:16. > :19:20.vibrant city centre and we want to keep it that way. We want the new

:19:20. > :19:24.retailers to come here and get established in the city centre so

:19:24. > :19:28.that everybody can succeed. proposals are going on display in

:19:28. > :19:33.this disused shop - a vital consultation for what are some of

:19:33. > :19:37.the biggest redevelopment plans in the recent history of this city.

:19:37. > :19:45.This development of links the high street and will really help the

:19:45. > :19:49.small shops. It will also help the market and keep the main shopping

:19:49. > :19:52.party of Lincoln within a certain area of the high street. If an

:19:52. > :19:56.investment partner is found and if planning permission is granted, it

:19:56. > :19:59.could still be four or five years before this proposal comes to

:20:00. > :20:02.fruition. Our reporter is in Lincoln this

:20:03. > :20:09.evening. People have been talking about this for years - how likely

:20:09. > :20:14.is it that this will happen? There can't be many towns are said

:20:14. > :20:18.to use outside the capital prepared to spend �100 million on this kind

:20:18. > :20:22.of retail development at this stage in the economic cycle. -- towns and

:20:22. > :20:26.cities. So many high streets have taken at battering from the

:20:26. > :20:30.recession and from internet sales, which are gradually nudging up

:20:31. > :20:35.month-on-month. The court, the group behind this the Belmont, says

:20:35. > :20:40.it is confident that a number of an vesper SVRs -- investors are

:20:40. > :20:43.already showing strong interest in this proposal. They have a lot of

:20:43. > :20:46.faith in the future of the local economy in the city.

:20:46. > :20:49.We will continue to follow the story.

:20:49. > :20:52.After almost 40 years of service, one of RAF Waddington's Nimrod

:20:52. > :20:54.aircraft has taken its final flight from the station. Two of the

:20:54. > :20:59.surveillance planes were retired from service last month after

:20:59. > :21:03.active service in Afghanistan, Iraq and during the Cold War. One of

:21:03. > :21:12.them will now form part of a static display at East Midlands Airport.

:21:12. > :21:16.The other will be scrapped. It is only a few weeks ago is that we

:21:16. > :21:21.were flying over the Mediterranean in support of our own guys. It is

:21:21. > :21:26.strange, in a way, that the aircraft -- the aircraft has come

:21:26. > :21:31.to be a demise so quickly. It is sad, but I am pleased that will be

:21:31. > :21:35.preserved. I will come back over the years and have a sit inside and

:21:35. > :21:38.remember the good old days. There's been a big response on the

:21:38. > :21:42.story about a man from Hull who's been fined for flyposting after

:21:46. > :21:50.for a year when he put up the posters. He's now got a job at a

:21:50. > :21:58.Bingo Hall, but he's also been fined �75 for flyposting. His new

:21:58. > :22:05.employers have picked up the bill. Lots of you have been moved to get

:22:05. > :22:08.in touch on this one. We've had a tweet from Rick who says, "They

:22:08. > :22:11.should give the bloke a medal for using his initiative".

:22:11. > :22:16.Angela says, ""We should be applauding his efforts, people find

:22:16. > :22:19.it hard enough to find work. Why should anyone stop them"?

:22:19. > :22:23.Andy from Hull is also annoyed. "This city is losing funding for

:22:23. > :22:27.job seekers yet they penalise someone who wants to work. It makes

:22:27. > :22:31.me wonder why people bother when I hear reports of this nature".

:22:31. > :22:35.Jan supports the council. "If all of the unemployed did the same then

:22:35. > :22:39.every city would be papered wall to wall with flyers".

:22:39. > :22:49.Adam also backed the fine, saying, "It is illegal for a reason. They

:22:49. > :22:50.

:22:50. > :22:53.are an eye sore and his fine should have been doubled at least".

:22:53. > :22:57.A piece of Lincolnshire's naval history has today returned to the

:22:57. > :23:02.county. HMS Boston was used during the Normandy landings but after the

:23:02. > :23:06.war it was broken up and sold. Now more than 60 years later, the

:23:06. > :23:16.ship's bell has returned to the town. It was dedicated at a service

:23:33. > :23:42.Hopefully people will remember the war or because of it. By great

:23:42. > :23:44.sense of pride for us. Cricket, and Yorkshire have taken a

:23:44. > :23:47.big first innings lead in the County Championship match against

:23:47. > :23:50.Worcestershire at Scarborough. The Tykes were all out today for 367 -

:23:50. > :23:53.199 runs ahead. Worcestershire are 82 for 4 in their second innings at

:23:53. > :23:57.the end of day two. A couple from Hull say they won't

:23:57. > :24:00.be looking for a new house despite winning more than �3 million on the

:24:00. > :24:03.lottery. John and Susan Denston say they may buy a new caravan after

:24:03. > :24:08.matching five numbers and one lucky star in Friday's Euromillions draw.

:24:08. > :24:11.They were one number off the jackpot of �166 million. That's

:24:11. > :24:19.still up for grabs in tonight's draw and they're even trying to get

:24:19. > :24:22.lucky again. It is no wonder these two are

:24:22. > :24:32.celebrating - after two years looking for work, their �3.3

:24:32. > :24:32.

:24:32. > :24:38.million lottery wins put their money worries to bed. I could not

:24:38. > :24:45.believe it when I saw the first two numbers, then three, then for a.

:24:45. > :24:49.Them five. Then I got a lucky star. I could not believe it. I just sat

:24:49. > :24:52.there. I could not believe what was on the screen and what was on my

:24:52. > :24:55.ticket. So what could �3.3 million get John

:24:55. > :24:58.and Susan? Well, how about a private yacht to cruise around in?

:24:58. > :25:08.Or they could move to a luxury millionaires mansion. Or what about

:25:08. > :25:09.

:25:09. > :25:16.upgrading to a high flying sports car? So what will they choose?

:25:16. > :25:26.little caravan! A little caravan so we can go away on the weekends. The

:25:27. > :25:30.really? Yes. John and Susan live on Hull's

:25:30. > :25:36.Bilton Grange estate. They say they aren't moving and with 166 million

:25:36. > :25:42.up for grabs again tonight, how would people here spend the cash?

:25:42. > :25:48.would get holidays and a house. Holiday, holiday, holiday. The most

:25:48. > :25:53.important thing is doing something for charity.

:25:53. > :26:00.Only two tickets in the UK won �3.3 million. This is their local

:26:00. > :26:06.newsagent - the man they had to thank. I won on the same trough. I

:26:06. > :26:10.cashed my ticket in on Sunday morning. I won at the princely

:26:10. > :26:13.amount of two. City. At least it will buy me one pint!

:26:13. > :26:17.These little pink tickets have been flying off the shelves. At one

:26:17. > :26:27.point on Friday, three million were bought an hour. So who knows -

:26:30. > :26:32.tonight, another local couple could also be celebrating.

:26:32. > :26:34.Congratulations to them if they are watching.

:26:37. > :26:44.The pressure on News Corporation increases with fresh accusations

:26:44. > :26:48.from a former prime minister and the police.

:26:48. > :26:50.Farmers claim that food prices will continue to rise than double the

:26:50. > :26:54.white of business unless the Government steps in.

:26:54. > :27:01.Another bright and mainly dry day with some sunny spells. A risk of

:27:06. > :27:10.Ricks says, food prices are rising because of the price of diesel.

:27:10. > :27:14.Increases in delivery costs are passed on to the consumer. Never

:27:17. > :27:21.Rover! And a text from Marton. We're

:27:21. > :27:26.importing goods from Europe while our fields stand empty. It is

:27:26. > :27:30.madness and the supermarkets are to blame.

:27:30. > :27:33.Finally, from Trevor, the farmers are obviously happy when they
