Farming rules for water: What’s in store? >More in © Tim Scrivener The farming rules for water regulations (2018) (FRfW) were introduced to create a national baseline for good farm practices. They require land managers to take reasonable precautions to prevent diffuse pollution from occurring. Reasonable precautions are “actions that a land manager might be expected to do in order to prevent run-off or soil erosion”, according to Defra.

Farmers Weekly asked a cross-compliance specialist, a grassland consultant and a farming adviser for their views.
