Farmers accused once again that after the stopping of help in the fight against deadly plants that threaten the laborer, once again. Natural England, horses, cattle, pigs and sheep that can kill a toxic plant Ragwort’la -related agricultural landowners will not address new disputes, he said.
Christopher Jenkin, a Wildshire rural alliance member who struggles with Ragwort contamination of the agricultural features in the surrounding area, said the movement shows that the movement was “not completely ignored for rural communities”. Telegraph said: “When they will get back the complaints and examined without the date they will close the complaint procedure in the summer months, it is a complete ignorance for rural communities. Ragwort is very poisonous. We have horses.
The rural alliance, which supports Mr. Jenkin, said that the closing “did not leave any other ways for complaints” and left the landowners to the mercy of the “goodwill of their neighbors”.
Natural England – A state organization controlled by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) – the responsibility of supporting the 1959 Wild Herbs Law.
Agricultural workers are protected within this legislation, especially when weed conflicts cannot be solved by direct negotiation.
The law allowed property owners, who face the risks of contamination from adjacent areas, to demand that the source of the invasive species be controlled by Natural England after the implementation action.
Defra is now suspending the complaint method, wild grass problems “faster and more cost -effectively” has conducted an investigation to address.
Typically, Natural England, who committed complaints during the flowering season between April 1 – September 30, stopped addressing new cases on 25 July – the spare system remained in operation.
A spokesman from the organization said: “Natural England is determined to work with farmers to help manage the spread of some weeds that may affect farming practices.
He continued: “We review our approach with Defra to ensure that they have appropriate information and tools to address the problems of complaints and land managers in a faster and more costly way.”
