[Marches Farmer]

ASF has been marching steadily westwards from Russia for a while but has now been found in Poland.  We sold a pedigree breeding gilt yesterday to a farmer from Lincolnshire (pig country) who said they were feeling somewhat apprehensive about the Eastern European workers who will come to the UK at harvest time. 

We have a DEFRA-approved quarantine area and spent some time last night debating how useful it would actually be in the event of ASF and which stock we'd put in it!
