Lawyers Sample Life Down on the Farm
Posted on: Wednesday, 24 August 2005, 12:00 CDT
A GROUP of leading government lawyers visited two Warwickshire farms to see, quite literally, what life is like in the field.
Nine legal experts from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) visited farms in aydon and Harbury to see how new policies are affecting farmers.
Paul Rice, from Leamington based law firm Wright Hassall's farming and rural business unit, organised the visit.
Mr Rice, who specialises in advising farmers on the new Single Payment Scheme, said the visit had proved very worthwhile. He said: "It was a chance for those who are advising the government's decision makers to see what is really happening on the ground.
"It was also an opportunity for them to get out of the office and get a genuine feel for the impact that current reforms are having on farmers.
"I also think the farmers appreciated the chance to discuss the changes with those who are involved directly with the reforms that affect them."
