Viv, I knew you weren't having a dig. Besides, IMHO hedgerows and grazing animals are part of the UK countryside experience. Don't let them be consigned to history so Tesco can make another point profit!
I agree about intensively farmed produce. A free range chicken tastes completely different, as does a "real" tomato compared to those big tasteless ones designed to last as long as possible on supermarket shelves.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
