What sort of weedkiller is it that the farmer used? Is there some new

nothing else.


One of the above, can't remember which one now.

Won't you need to know for a legal case?


I'm beginning to suspect s/he might be pulling our chain about suing the
farmer.

No-one with any sense would sue over lost spuds even if the spuds had been
special ones. It'd be a case of cutting off ones nose to spite one's face.
The cost of not winning would be horrendous and even if one did win then the
manure supply would either dry up immediately or become exhorbitant. People
in the UK already seem to have enough trouble getting manure in bulk. Can
you imagine the price it'd have to be to cover the increased risk of being
sued?
