HAVE you done your bit to dissuade government officials from imposing a hefty environmental tax on pesticide and fertiliser inputs? If not you need to act now – the Royal Show closing date for our "Just Say No" campaign is approaching fast.

FARMERS WEEKLY has already had a huge response to the campaign. But have you played your part too?

If the prospect of paying a duty of up to 125% on every litre of spray and every tonne of fertiliser fills you with dread then join the protest now and complete the coupon below.

&#8226 Responses will be presented to Mr Meacher in early July.

Dear Mr Meacher,

I object strongly to your plans to impose an environmental tax on pesticide and fertiliser inputs.

I believe it would do untold harm to UK farming and bring very little benefit for the environment.

I urge you to reconsider these plans.
