you would think the above link is an April 1st joke , it isn't, it is fact !! This is happening now in the USA and looks set for something very similar to happen in the EU ( remember that now the Lisbon treaty is ratified the UK no longers exists Officially under EU legislation !!).

Remember all the forms you have filled in from DEFRA , answering all the questions about how much land you own ! how much you rent ! what you grow on it ! how much you grow ! Remember ..just collecting data...!! ?
Oh and don't forget that ALL land is set to be rated sometime too....the rate dependant on what you grow on your land !!

cheers

I did something similar... I filled in the forms with Mind your own F***ING business....each time I sent the form back , I got another saying I had filled the previous one in incorrectly . They gave up in the end....either that or they are preparing the court case....

Funny that, we never filled in any forms from Defra - we did get envelopes I vaguely remember, but I think they may still be in pigeon hole 101

i dont even think they know the we have the land. it was a private sell from the farm, as far as they are concerned it is probably still permanant grass
