Watching countryside on TV last night I was struck by the waste of

I didn't see it, but can guess :-( Also, this is a major harmful
consequence of the demise of mixed farming - not so long ago, the
field of broccoli would have had some cows turned into it after it
had been picked.

That happens here in the Isle of Wight. Once the Sprouts or Cauliflowers are
finished, the Sheep are turned onto the fields
