Farmers in counties Derry and Antrim with over one quarter of an acre of nettles on their land are sought after by nature conservation charity Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) NI.

The charity is looking for nettle growers to donate the stinging plants to help entice breeding corncrakes back to Rathlin Island, located six miles off the coast of Co Antrim.

The charity is looking for suitable farmers to get in contact with them.

I wonder would they buy docks or rushes as well as the nettles? The Dealer thinks he could be very profitable this year.
