Once fully inflated, a special valve allows for the gas to be syphoned off by the farmer into an adapted gas canister.\r\n\r\nThese canisters are then fed into a processing plant, which burns the methane and creates valuable electricity.\r\n\r\nEach bag also has a safety valve to allow excess gas to escape should the farmer fail to empty it in time - preventing explosions that could harm the sheep.\r\n\r\n<center><div class="getty embed image" style="background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:\'Helvetica Neue\',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:380px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:66.666667% 0 0 0;width:100%;"><iframe src="//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/147111945?et=Uo2-o6KASzNLQqzZwSJKAw&sig=D5fZm371Ba3g13wDN2TfhY0tSUEs8bqKvHNwc2JpvXY=" width="380" height="253" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></div><p style="margin:0;"></p><div style="padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/147111945" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">View image</a> | <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">gettyimages.com</a></div></div></center><center><i>It\'s a gas: sheep being tested with the fart collection system</center></i><br><br>\r\n\r\n\r\nThe process is so simple and cheap that farmers across the UK will be able to adopt it by the end of the year.\r\n\r\nBoffins are now looking at extending the project to other ruminants like cows and goats, which also generate huge amounts of methane flatulence.\r\n\r\nMr Barry Fleece, from Sheep \'O\' Gas, the company behind the innovation, said: "The issue of sheep and cow flatulence has been known about for years.\r\n\r\n"In the UK these farts, and to an extent belching, genuinely accounts for 25% of greenhouse gases which damage the ozone layer and speed up global warming.\r\n\r\n"We looked at a simple way to capture sheep farts and then harvest them for use as an energy source.\r\n\r\n"The sheep in our test facility took to the system very well.

Thanks to global warming, we now enjoy those conditions in central Suffolk.\r\n\r\n"It cost £10,000 to import the plants - bananas are really grown on plants, not trees, although they can grow up to five metres tall. I spent two months in west Africa learning the business and felt the time was ripe.\r\n\r\n"It was a gamble, but the plantation grew quickly and we have just enjoyed our first harvest of lovely, juicy bananas."\r\n\r\n<center><div class="getty embed image" style="background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:\'Helvetica Neue\',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:380px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:66.666667% 0 0 0;width:100%;"><iframe src="//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/135463955?et=H6GqLjYqTRhs_EOAk71X6A&sig=UYkWDUwzcAsQLP0Z2dJHCuAP_wDhu5m8a5YNAnDydzY=" width="380" height="253" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></div><p style="margin:0;"></p><div style="padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/135463955" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">View image</a> | <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">gettyimages.com</a></div></div></center><center><i>The first crop is gathered</center></i><br><br>\r\n\r\n\r\nHe said the first two-ton crop was given away to local schools and hospitals without anyone knowing they had been grown locally.\r\n\r\n"We wanted to keep the planation secret so we had a head start on the competition," explained Mr Straw, who also runs a 500-acre arable farm growing mainly wheat and potatos.

The sum is believed to be the same as the German army pay he has missed out on since he went into hiding, still believing the war was on.\r\n\r\nIt is understood a book deal will follow, while Hollywood\'s biggest studios are also keen on snapping up his story.\r\n\r\nThe TV show will begin filming this summer, once Hans Up has finished recuperating in the German Embassy in London, and got used to all the modern gadgets like computers that he is seeing for the first time.\r\n\r\nEpisodes in the series, to be aired on BBC 1, will concentrate on catching and cooking wildlife, making secret dens, avoiding angry Suffolk farmers, sleeping in trees, and keeping German army boots polished in all conditions.\r\n\r\nA spokesman for Nice Activity Zoom International films, said: "We are delighted to have signed Hans Up, er, up. He is still in great condition despite his age, and his story is inspirational.\r\n\r\n"Everyone wants to know how he stayed alive and hidden for so long in a Suffolk forest. His survival story also has the potential to save lives - you never know when you might get lost in a forest."\r\n\r\nThe NAZI spokesman would not confirm the fee payable to Mr Up, but the Suffolk Gazette understands it is at least £4 million.\r\n\r\nHans Up\'s story gripped the world when we revealed his discovery last month. \r\n\r\n<center><a href="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/hans-up-found-e1428409500618.jpg"><img src="http://www.suffolkgazette.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/hans-up-found-e1428409500618.jpg" alt="German WW2 soldier found in forest" width="450" height="244" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-612" /></a></center><center><i>Exclusive: How the Suffolk Gazette revealed Hans Up\'s forest discovery</center></i><br><br>\r\n\r\nWe were flooded with messages of support for the former soldier who was baffled by the modern world upon his discovery.\r\n\r\nAmazingly, some readers claimed the Suffolk Gazette had in some way made up the story, or at least put a little too much spin on it.\r\n\r\nBut our Editor insisted today: "Every bit of it was true. Some questioned why the picture taken of Hans Up when he was caught was in black and white. Well we proved the local kids who found him put a cool filter on their shot to make it more moody.\r\n\r\n"Other people said Hans could not have ejected from the bomber when it was shot down, because the ejector seat had not been invented in 1944. But our research found Hans and the rest of the crew were trialing a forerunner of the ejector seat, which had been developed personally by Adolf Hitler.\r\n\r\n"Lastly, others claimed it was ridiculous Hans was in a German soldier uniform, when we had stated he was in a Luftwaffe bomber. But Hans himself has confirmed to us that the uniform change was intended to confuse the enemy should he be caught - and it clearly worked." \r\n\r\n<center><div class="getty embed image" style="background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:\'Helvetica Neue\',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:321px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:138.785047% 0 0 0;width:100%;"><iframe src="//embed.gettyimages.com/embed/3071503?et=_JwPsRdaRX5-sQd28WpjFg&sig=j0wBX7-8v7O4WPqVFtqyW5eCnJjT_xNZjX5Vy2Y-S2I=" width="321" height="445" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></div><p style="margin:0;"></p><div style="padding:0;margin:0 0 0 10px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/3071503" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">View image</a> | <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;">gettyimages.com</a></div></div></center><center><i>Hans Up gives himself up to Melton school children last month</center></i><br><br>\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, Hans Up has fallen back in love with football, a sport he used to enjoy playing in his barracks.
