If 'your' farmer didn't know this could cause a problem, he can hardly be at fault Suing the seller is the correct procedure. It may not be the farmer's fault but s/he is responsible for what they sell. In turn they may be able to sue whoever sold them bad materials. The weed killer in question carried a warning to the user that any manure from animals fed forage from the pasture should not be used for fertilising crops or words to that effect so the responsibilty still lies with the farmer surely? -- Chris.

I'd heard about aminopyralid and clopyrolid but nothing else. One of the above, can't remember which one now. PDM 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? I suppose it depends on how litigious one is! I can't imagine suing a farmer over the loss of one year's allotment crops, given the amount of money spent on legal fees will be enormous and there's always the risk of losing. Next time I bump into one of our local farmers I must check their manure is insured. ;-)) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |
