What's happening with issues concerning water quality, buffer strips and mowing?
Takeaways: There are probably 15 bills relating to buffer strips floating around. When it comes to the rural districts, there are many more ditch miles and land that's being taken out of production. Farmers don't want poor water quality, but when will results be seen? Alternative practices should be considered. The buffer law was rolled out too quickly and took farmers by surprise.
