[QUOTE="thesilentone, post: 7778044, member: 6194"] I don't know how we get hung up on such debates. A farmer fills a clamp with Maize, he has surplus and sell's it to the local AD Plant, what do you suggest, someone calculates how much fuel he used to plant, harvest and transport it and retrospectively he is charged fuel duty ? Or the farmer who has a couple of hundred dodgy silage/straw bales he sells to the local AD Plant etc, etc etc.......... What about all the malting barley ? Used for non agricultural use ? What about the spreading of digestate to agricultural land, which fuel ? The law is clear ' haulage ' is white diesel if it not part of an Agricultural operation. [HEADING=3]My farm contracting business has grown considerably due to our local AD plant. I have two self-propelled forage harvesters and am involved in contracting services planting and harvesting the maize feedstock and taking it into the AD plant. I sometimes harvest and move the maize to a farm field-side clamp, then move it into the plant when it is required. Can I used red diesel?[/HEADING] Yes, as your services are an integral part of the agricultural operation. If you were only employed to move the maize into the AD plant, without being directly involved in growing and harvesting the maize, then you would need to use white diesel as this would be haulage. [HEADING=3]I also have a low-injection spreader which I use to apply digestate from the AD plant. I transport the digestate from the AD plant and then spread it on farmland. Can I use red diesel?[/HEADING] Yes, as you are part of the agricultural operation. [/QUOTE]
