DEFRA wrong in set-aside ruling

DEFRA wrong in set-aside ruling - 2002 - Farmers' Weekly 137(21) 22 November 2002, 8(1) NFU Press Release 15 November 2002, (2) .

The High Court has ruled that DEFRA was wrong to deny Staffs farmer John Cooke £28 000 because set-aside land had been used for grass during the preceding year. The ruling should mean over 1 000 arable farmers will receive outstanding set-aside and related payments. Farmers who may benefit from the case should contact DEFRA. www.nfu.org.uk/pr/4029630/PRONLINE.htm
