    despite whatever the unqualified ney sayers think,

    the article has indeed been edited and the amount being
    discussed:

    "The pattern has already cost a great deal of damage - possibly about £600.


    is not so far from the initial Benes back of a fag packet estimate of £500

    'Using this analogy it is clear to see that a maybe 5 acres have been
    damaged which is about £500 quid.
    '

    Possibly on your planet. You will struggle to get anywhere near that in the UK at the moment (even with the single payment scheme)

    Does this lolok like £600,000 worth of damage?

    She said she was not concerned about tracking down the culprits and the incident has not been reported to the police.
    I expect the poor farmer wants an EU subsidy. Still £600K is £600K, and every bit helps. Do you think she deserves £600K?
