The message
from robert contains these words:

Agreed. There are some plants listed in Schedule 8 of the Wildlife &
Countryside Act 1981 which are protected under Section 13 of the Act in
that they may not be picked or destroyed. It also states that all wild
plants may not be uprooted but, from memory it does not define 'wild'.

And that leaves farmers where?

What the Act says is that they may not be uprooted without permission of
the landowner, which means there is no problem for the farmer.
