These BBC broadcasts excerpt from Mr. James Rebanks’ book, English Pastoral. This is beautiful language unravelling the decline of agricultural stewardship, his ongoing regeneration of his Lake District fell farm, and his hopes for cultural changes to reverse the damage we’ve been doing.
The One-cow Revolution 
Unfortunately in England there is too much reliance on government subsidies; of course, with much larger scale in the United States under insurance.

Hi, Jj, thanks for the thought. I’m not sure I follow you, but it’s true that a small island nation and a great big republic will benefit from different forms of government. I can’t say I have a very well-informed opinion on either system. Subsidies and legislation might help delay trends, but I’m thinking that good farming will only happen naturally in a setting of small community and self restraint. We can mandate whatever you like, but it won’t make people good stewards.
