I have just received a load of farm manure for my allotment...The farmer
told me if I wanted any more I must get it before 2004 as the EU were
regarding it as toxic waste and it would need a special licence to be
transported on the public highway...This licence would be specific to the
driver and as he employs casual labour he could not afford all the fees...
Wonder if anyone else has heard about this and if so what can be done
about it....

Suggest you post this in uk.business.agriculture. From what I read
there, farm manure is indeed considered a waste product that
needs/will need a special licence to be transported, but I don't know
the details.
