Defining husbandry
There has been some doubt as to whether bio-fuel crops are 'husbandry'. Readers may be interested to know that I have recently received confirmation that the Inland Revenue will accept that 'normal crops', which are grown with fuel production as the objective, still fall within the definition of husbandry. 'Normal crops' means oil-seed rape, beet, cereals and miscanthus.

As an example of current work on bio-fuels, a report on miscanthus as a bio-fuel is available on the Department of Trade and Industry website at www.dti.gov.uk/energy/renewables/publications/pdfs/bw200618final.pdf .
