dh and I complained to the farmer when he planted maize in the field next to our house at 4am. It made a racket, woke us all up (2 days after dd3 was born) and went on for 2 hours (no way you could sleep through it).
they have written to us saying basically we can lump it as they are 'allowed' to farm at any time of day or night.
its a new farmer and the one before never did this - we don't mind them starting early (6am ish) but 4am is just unbelievably anti social we think. Its a tiny farm and a small field but being run by a consultancy who has a lot of other fields to manage. Dh pointed out that they could have done the fields that werent near houses first and they have rejected that out of hand, basically saying they can do what they like. Its a real shame as we had a great relationship with the tenant farmer before - he rung us when he was going to spray/harvest so we could keep the pets/kids inside.
Can they? How can I word the reply?
