Dangerous work.

The recent tragic incident at Bickleigh where a farmer ran over and killed his father with a digger should remind us all that farming remains a hazardous business. However many safety measures are introduced it remains the case that the combination of heavy machinery and uneven and often treacherous surfaces can lead to death and serious injury. Whilst we all moan about our food producers from time to time its worth remembering that despite all the modern aids, farming remains a tough and uncertain life for those who engage in it.
