In Hartlands, St. Catherine, a new challenge has emerged for farmers who recently faced compensation disputes over their lands. Adding to their woes, untamed cattle have become a significant issue, turning what was once a source of livelihood into a living nightmare. Farmers, still grappling with the aftermath of land compensation disagreements, now find themselves wrestling with wild cows wreaking havoc in recent weeks. Samuel King, an affected farmer, reveals that this situation has not only impeded growth but also severely impacted profits.
King, speaking on behalf of fellow farmers, emphasizes the staggering loss of over 50 million in produce.

Despite the relocation, their struggles persist, leaving them in a state of perplexity.
