SHARING OPTIONS:
Farmers have been busy over the last year in carrying out remedial works to farm roadways to ensure any runoff is directed away from any watercourse, drain, etc, that feeds into a water feature.
Given the level of discussions and queries arising, it is clear that works continue to bring farms in line with new rules which came into play on 1 January 2021 surrounding runoff from farm roadways, fencing of watercourses and location of water troughs.
Some of these works relate to remedial works on existing infrastructure while many of the queries cropping up now relate to new projects and farmers ensuring they are on the right side of the law.
