Unfortunately, the current agricultural policy mostly excluded hedges, which frequently provide shelter for birds to nest, from the areas eligible for subsidies and thus encouraged farmers to cut hedges wider than 2 square metres.
Dosedanja kmetijska politika je mejice, ki pogosto nudijo pticam zavetje za gnezdenje, žal večinoma izvzemala iz površin za subvencije in s tem spodbujala kmete h krčenju mejic, če so bile te širše od 2 m2.
