Rural Reflection October 2018 The end of September brought a weekend of down pours and for a change inches of rain being reported rather than millimetres. As we enter the last week of September, sunshine is the symbol on the BBC website which will enable a busy week for final cuts of silage and the big push for the maize harvest. Currently straw prices are reducing and whilst fodder remains short, a week or two of sunny and dry weather should ease the burden on fodder supplies around the country. Good news for those livestock farmers amongst us. Continuing on the matter of livestock. Like every livestock centre across the country, here at Exeter prices have somewhat stalled in perhaps every section across the market. Smart, strong and in-spec cattle remain a good price, however any animal with a long ‘turn around’ period until profit is realised is taking a knock. Fodder, the previous hard winter and continued high expenses and business costs seem to be just some of the factors whereby our industry is considering other options and alternative farming approaches in order to make a profit. If you require any professional advice on your farming business and income streams, the Kivells team has experts that can advise on every matter, whether it’s one of the auctioneers advising on the marketing of stock, to one of the agency team advising on the prices of land. Our friendly team are here to help. With regards to cereals, autumn drilling will be next in line, if some haven’t started already. Speaking to friends in the Midlands and east of the country the countryside is a dust bowl, with oilseed rape failing in parts and until a large proportion of rain is present drilling wheat is a no go. The deluge recently received will no doubt aid cultivations but from sitting on the plough last weekend it’s extremely dry underneath. Here in the Exeter office we are continuing to undertake compensation claims on behalf of clients and furthermore agreeing licence fees where acquiring authorities or companies are looking to enter land to undertake projects on infrastructure. I have already expressed the importance of instructing an agent to act on your behalf, but over and over again companies are entering land without compensating fairly the landowner and/or the tenant. Surely your time is better spent farming rather than on the phone chasing compensation or requesting apparatus to be removed from your best pasture field? Even your time can be included within a claim and all our fees are covered by the company that has caused the damage or inconvenience. This time of year doesn’t really feature the Basic Payment Scheme but here at Kivells we are continuing the pain staking task of sorting queries dating back to 2015 but also including 2016 and 2017.

The primary focus of this thesis is the large number of unaccompanied children who were officially evacuated to the County under the auspices of the Government Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War. However, Chapter Six discusses the evacuation of mothers and accompanying children, unofficial (private) evacuees and private school parties. The majority of evacuated children arriving in Devon originated from the London area and southeastern counties. In addition large numbers of children were also evacuated to the County from Bristol and within the County from Plymouth (Devon) during 1941 and briefly from Exeter in May 1942. Each of the three national evacuation waves is considered individually throughout the text as they are quite distinct in complexion, a fact frequently ignored in generalised accounts which tend to focus on reaction to the initial wave.
