Walkers urged to avoid agricultural land during coronavirus outbreak
It would be difficult to find replacement workers if coronavirus hit the Island's farming industry.
That's the warning from local farmer Kirree Kermode of Orrisdale Pedigrees.
It follows a plea from the Manx National Farmers' Union for walkers to stay away from footpaths near agricultural land.
Kirree, who also presents Manx Radio's Countryside programme, says it would be a big blow to the sector if the illness struck:
