Farmers being the guardians of the countryside is a ridiculous claim in the first place: agriculture and the farming of animals wrecks any real nature and always has. Have a look at unfarmed parts of the Lake District or the Scottish Highlands, then at the "countryside" occupied by farming. It just doesn't compare really. Though I'm sure it all looks very green and "rural" to city-dwellers, especially Londoners, some of whom barely leave the city at all throughout their entire lives, save for a jaunt to Heathrow to leave the country completely every summer.
