This morning's BBC news covered the story of the Sussex family confined to their house while the adjacent farmland is sprayed with pesticide.

The family attribute a variety of health problems to the toxic spray and are leading campaigners for no-spray zones. (See previous story: Govt Consultation on No-Spray Zones).

An NFU representative said that while farmers weren't doing anything illegal, they were anxious to try to appease public opinion.

I'm very glad I live next to an organic farm!
