Improved hygiene requirements for the storage of food on farms both for
animal and human consumption has eliminated this food source.


Remember the seriously improved hygiene AND TIDINESS is imposed on farms
by supermarket diktat. Obviously the less grain lying about the fewer
birds and the fewer small rodents.


This is something that wants pointing out firmly, and with any luck some of
the environmental organisations might have the courage to pick up on it. I
note that these organisations have eventually caught on to the idea of the
importance of grazing (The RSPB is very big on it) so I think there is hope
they will take on the supermarkets tidyness fetish
