Title: Herbiciding Post by hazelnut on Sep 4th, 2009 at 2:32pm
A friend of ours told us today that there is a new spot of legislation due with regards to herbiciding
It would appear that you will now have to have a license which can only be acheived by attending a 5 afternoon training course in the correct use and safe practise of herbicides at what cost?? If you don't have the license you will not be able to buy Herbicide!! And of Coarse the classes will be in Catalan!! Suprise Suprise Yet another peice of useless money making legislation, which will be hidden under the guise of Health and Safety, but which is really aimed at protectionism, so that you will have to employ a Catalan to herbicide your land for you!! I can see this backfiring on them Well they can Bollocks I would sooner go organic or let the land revert back to nature and scrub!! With the EU grants dissappearing in 2013 and most of the Catalan current landowners getting into their 70's and with youngsters not even interested in Cultivation or land ownership, it should be an interesting time What will they do when 70% of the land returns to scrub!! Maybee that is their plan Seems unusual to me when every documentary I see talks about the world not being able to feed the growing population after 2030 |
