I wrote a reply from my office today. We had to say they had got their facts wrong so I doubt they will print it.
The journalist had rung our comms dept last week wanting to know how many sprays crops of wheat etc were given. Our comms explained it was impossible to generalise and we didn't see our members spray records - nb how our 'journalist' at the Mail had regurgitated this as we refused to supply the information.
It's also worth noting the typical farm wheat crop described received four slug pellets applications - I reckon that's illegal.
In today's .
Good one .
