    My heart sank last night when I heard this on the late news. We live in a rural area and have many friends in the farming community. I don't know how much more they can take. I just hope it can be stamped out quickly - the prospect of a repeat of 2001 is just too upsetting for words.

    My heart sank too when I read this this morning on the bbc website. So worrying for all involved. I hope it only affects this farm. Fingers crossed.

    This is awful news :(

    I really hope this is shortlived and not too many people are affected.

    Well hopefully this time around the Government will have a bit more of an idea of what they're doing and it will be contained earlier.

  • Hoping it's sorted quickly. It seems so stupid that our farmers are treated so badly without them we'd all be stuffed.
