  A farmer has been ordered to pay out £3,500  for riding a tractor with his grandchild in the cab. ** Media Release ** Video footage taken by a neighbour captured the moment Howard Walters, 78, allowed one of his grandchildren to illegally ride in his tractor. (Photo: Health and Safety Executive) He was spotted with the pre-teen child in the tractor cab in January 2021 as he fed cattle on his farm in South Wales.  Mr Walters had already been issued with a prohibition notice by the Health  and Safety Executive (HSE) after admitting to inspectors he allowed his grandchildren to ride in his tractor. However, just two months later, he was filmed by his neighbor breaching the terms of that notice.

   3,000 head of stolen cattle sold in Texas, Oklahoma A North Carolina cattle thief “relied on his family’s good reputation in the cattle trading business” when he bought 3,000 cows at livestock markets in the Charlotte area and Virginia, federal prosecutors wrote in court documents. Everyone accepted William Dalton Edwards’ checks, prosecutors said. The 25-year-old traded cattle in his own name, as a business called Diamond L. Feeders and as an order-buyer for companies operated by a Texas man. Edwards and the Texas man drove the cows to Oklahoma and the Lone Star State, where they sold them for $1.1 million, court records show. All of the checks bounced, according to a July 16 indictment in U.S. District Court in Statesville that charged Edwards with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government — namely, the U.S. Department of Agriculture. On Friday, Edwards pleaded guilty to the charge and faces up to five years in prison, U.S. Attorney Dena King in Charlotte said i...
