Lincolnshire

Farmers in Suffolk have said they are dealing with 'severe economic losses' due to current restrictions on the movement of livestock

“We appreciate the impact restrictions can have on farmers. We are committed to working with everyone affected"

"It moves me to tears hearing how challenging it is for our farmers at the minute dealing with this awful virus"

The Government said there have also been two further cases in North East Lincolnshire

"The Burdens Group was a victim of problems hitting the farming sector with bad weather and changes to EU subsidies resulting in its key customer base reducing their spend"

"Unfortunately it was just a matter of time for it to reach Lincolnshire"

"We will simply will not accept this barbaric activity and anyone who comes to the county hare coursing can expect to face the full force of the law"
