I will be very brief. I have heard the talk all evening about water quality and nitrates. The nitrates mean farmers in trouble. I have been in here before talking about this subject. The nitrates derogation is impacting farmers who cannot meet the limit. A fellow with 58 cows who has sold ten cows is down to 48 cows. What focus is on local authorities where we do not have treatment plants that are up to scratch and this is impacting on water quality?
