A FIFE farmer has been left reeling, after 250 wheat straw bales were torched on his land.

The Black family from Leucars, Fife, lost the Heston bales last week, after a group of youths had been seen messing around in the vicinity.

Harry Black and his wife Jill believe they have lost around 80 tonnes of bales, that could cost £10,000 to replace.
