    Grant to help with cost of diverting footpath?

    The Lincolnshire footpaths officer told me there is legislation coming down the track which will allow farmers to divert footpaths around farmyards. This is based on health and safety and no expense. He said keep your eyes open.

    Walpole Grimsby pylon , survey access.

    Just a comment, i had a gas pipe put under my land a few years ago. I had an agent paid for by the contractor, fine. Spoke to my neighbour after the work was completed, he had no agent, did everything his self. He finished with more compensation than me.

    UK Farming Protest - Start organising...

    Regarding your last sentence 70% of beet growers backed the NFU 30% signed the British Sugar contract. That is not getting together. When the NFU got a better contract deal the 30% jumped back. They should have been left adrift.
