Dip warning for farmers

A WARNING has been issued to Lothians sheep farmers about disposing of dip.

Health Protection Scotland said more care should be taken when it comes to discarding the chemicals, because they can damage earth and water.

The warning came after an Inverness farmer was fined 500 for failing to empty sheep dipper within 24 hours of using it.
