Agricultural and Farmland
Farmers and owners of agricultural land are finding themselves increasingly beset by legislation which affects their traditional way of life. The Countryside Rights of Way Act and the Hunting Act 2004 are prime examples. Farmers are also having to come to terms with far reaching agricultural reforms such as the Single Farm Payments system that is replacing previous subsidies.
