PC Middleton, of the Rural Crime Team said: "I am appealing for any witnesses who may have seen or heard anything suspicious between the times mentioned, or for anybody with any information on the whereabouts of these stolen items, or names of those involved.
"The theft of such equipment is extremely damaging in the rural community, massively affecting our hard-working farmers in their daily tasks. In what is already a financially challenging time for farmers, it is not acceptable that their valuable produce and equipment is taken so mindlessly."
