The association is getting at an issue of fairness, which is the right thing to do but is it not true that all farmers are subject to the nitrates action plan, when it is not all farmers who are contributing to the reason we have the nitrates action plan? What if I were a farmer who did not have an intensive set-up but who was being required to fulfil the needs of the action plan because of my neighbour, who as an intensive farmer is the person whose practices are actually leading to the deterioration of water quality? Is that a fair thing to say?
