Yes, so we are going to hear nothing.
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has looked at different scenarios. I spoke to some of the officials early in this debate and my understanding at the time was that we were going down the road where the ordinary farmer would keep under the 170 nitrates limit, there would be different allowances on fertiliser and that basically farmers who were not overstocked would not be coming in for much of a shudder. Has that changed?
