    Alex Rhodes

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    We've been telling you about the Lincolnshire farmer who's defied the ban on stubble burning

    It's been outlawed since 1993 over health and safety concerns but now there are growing calls to bring it back.

    Even the National Farmers Union has been considering it according to one representative.

    Quote Message: I think the arguments for bringing it back are getting stronger... at the moment the NFU is not campaigning to bring it back. I think we're looking at it as we're starting to see resistance against chemicals, we're also seeing more of these chemicals getting banned. The farmer's toolbox is getting smaller and smaller. from Andrew Wilson NFU
