A farmer was jailed for two years today for plunging an animal health 
inspector and a woman vet into a pit of slurry.

Roger Baker, 61, dubbed the “cruellest farmer in Britain” by the RSPCA, was 
found guilty in January of attacking trading standards officer Jonathan 
McCulloch and government vet Susan Potter on his land at Ventongimps, near Truro, 
Cornwall, last year.

The jury at Taunton Crown Court had last month failed to reach a majority 
verdict on a second charge of making a threat to kill.
