North Dakota comes to the Dorset prairie

Article Abstract:

Colin Ellis, from milton Abbas, Dorset, England, keeps 30 bison for meat, which is low in cholesterol, tastes like beef but costs twice as much. One carcass weighs about 500lb. British farmers may only import from Canada as American bison tend to have blue tongue disease. Bison are more profitable than sheep or deer. Bison became extinct in the American plains in the 1880's when their skins were in great demand, but there is not much use for it a century later. Fashion photographers are keen on photographing models by bison.

The best of British comes from overseas

Article Abstract:

In 1991 Britains's food imports cost 5.4 billion pounds sterling, fruit accounting for 1.7 billion pounds sterling and meat 1.2 billion. The demand for all-year-round availability and Britain's climate are the main reasons for this, but many items could be supplied by British growers if investment were made in replanting orchards and hi-tech tomato-growing equipment to extend the growing season. Supermarkets limit growers feasibility as their requirements are invariable at the expense of flavour.
