The idea of the Commons isn't dead in the country, it's called "the long paddock". Those couple of metres on either side of the road before the fences start can make all the difference in a tough season like this one. Our neighbour had his herd out there getting some pick for most of the day, he sat there watching them for a few hours, then opened up the fence again and put them back in so they could walk for some water.

that's a sweet thought. tho, of course, the farmer would be horrified at your politics.
