HS2 is set to ruin a Staffordshire farmer's livelihood
The Controversial HS2 rail scheme is set to cut a Staffordshire farm in half.
The family, who have been farming at the site for decades, say their business will be ruined when the line is built, detroying 15 of their 19 buildings including a house.
Packington Moor Farm in Lichfield, Staffordshire is run by John and Rosemary Barnes with their son and daughter-in-law whose house will also have to be demolished.
They farm 200 sheep and 450 acres of cereals as well as a farm shop and cafe.
