Englishman Baylis Built Sheepless Farm Empire in Berkshire
A Berkshire farmer, George Baylis of Boxford, amassed about £245,596 by farming without livestock.

Tests with 15 experienced drivers showed mild deer doses had little effect, but more whiskey raised driving errors and slowed reactions, with motorists largely unaware of their lapses.
