I LOOK forward to reading Grant Burton's column every Tuesday. I am sure his experience and knowledge of farming and country life, coupled with his forthright view and common sense, will bring a welcome breath of fresh air.

It should also counter a lot of the ignorance or rural life, especially shown by many politicians and those who regulate, or would like to regulate, our lives.
