The locals need to deny any attempt by Gates to farm that land.
I am a big fan of Jeremy Clarkson (Top Gear). There are two seasons of episodes of Clarkson’s Farm on Prime. It’s an enlightening look into the government crap farmers in the UK have to put up with and how one townie can upset the applecart and force farmers into expensive impediments to profitability.
Clarkson’s Farm is also hilarious watching a novice learn how to farm - Jeremy makes every mistake you can imagine. Kaleb Cooper (his young mentor and helper) and Cheerful Charlie Ireland (the land management agent) are perfect in supporting roles. His girlfriend, Lisa Hogan, (actress and model) is full of suggestions and manages the farm store. Gerald Cooper is the “head of security” and whose grasp of the English language is indecipherable by us Americans (and virtually everyone else on the show). It’s a wonderful and educational documentary show! A third season will be out this year and a fourth has been approved.
In one episode Jeremy set up a store to sell his and his neighbors local produce. The Town shut him down and told him he had to replace the roof on his store with a metal one. He did at great expense. In a later episode the same town council told him he had to replace the metal one with a slate roof at even greater expense.
If ever I get to England, I’d like to go to Chadlington and dine at his covert restaurant.
Very good looking burgers.
