The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) wants its members to alert it to problems they face with fly-grazing on their land.
Members reported cases at an NFU council meeting on 26 June.
They included a farmer who had 2,500 horses left on his land and another who was leaving the countryside stewardship scheme because his 15-metre field margins were being used by fly-grazers.
NFU president Peter Kendall said the NFU would survey its members about the nuisance.
