00:00The first one is dealing with the red tape that you all have to struggle with.

00:05Farmers are drowning in bureaucracy.

00:07If it's not one thing, it is another.

00:09It's this quango, it's that quango, it's Natural England, it's the Environment Agency,

00:18it's the pylons that are crossing the farms, it's just never-ending.
