Default Horse Manure

The weedkiller instructions for use make it clear that any manure should
only be used where non grass food crops, such as Rye, are grown and they
specifically state manure should not be used on any other crop. The farmer
knew this when he delivered the manure. He and every other farmer who did
this is liable. This means he is responsible for his negligence under
British law. Sale of Goods Act for starters. He has already in part
admitted responsibility. There are about 30 or more people suing him. This
is happening throughout the uk.

What sort of weedkiller is it that the farmer used? Is there some new
weedkiller involved now? I'd heard about aminopyralid and clopyrolid but
nothing else.
