This week's opinion from throughout the world of agriculture: Farmer and former lecturer at Myerscough College - George Parkinson
It follows a decision made by an inspector in relation to a planning appeal from a developer which had been refused consent for a solar farm on land in Somerset
The Energy and Net Zero Secretary said the biggest threat to farming is from climate change and not solar farm developments

Glastonbury and Somerton MP Sarah Dyke has written a letter to the new Energy and Net Zero Secretary Ed Miliband calling on the Labour Government to ensure rural communities receive benefits from solar farms
