Ne, have way to much say in all things agriculture. It is Tony Blair's baby.

 

[som farmer]

relation who advises politicians, from the NE side, says the problem is quite simple, all the politicians involved with DEFRA, are to busy looking to secure their positions, making themselves acceptable to voters, at the forthcoming election.

so NE has a completely free hand, no-one to say 'hold on, this isn't practical', as there has been, in the past.

2 examples of suggested rules, the first, an inspection of all silage pits, to bring them up to modern standards, the 2nd, all muck/slurry, to be ploughed in, within 24 hrs of spreading. Both vetoed by ministers.

pity they can't be bothered about rules and regs, at the moment. If we had to meet those two points................................. doesn't bear thinking about. But both look sensible on paper.
