Paragraph 4 Exemptions from the requirement to establish a green cover on set-aside land
A farmer need not establish a green cover on—
(a)
a strip of land up to 1 metre wide at the edge of the land set aside, where the land set aside adjoins land planted with a crop other than a seed crop;
(b)
a strip of land up to 2 metres wide at the edge of land set aside, where the land set aside adjoins land planted with a seed crop; or
(c)
a strip of land up to 5 metres wide at the edge of the land set aside in any place where vehicular access to that land from a road or track adjacent to that land may be possible, provided that the strip is ploughed and left as bare fallow,
and shall not be required to maintain any green cover which nevertheless becomes established on such a strip.
