A farming union is left 'dismayed' at plans by Natural Resources Wales to impose huge hikes.
Hedd Pugh, chairman of the NFU Cymru's rural affairs board, said there had been a lack of transparency over the way NRW officials had calculated the charges.
If the new fees come into force in April, other rises would see land spreading of spent or unused sheep dip go up from £402 to £3,728 and advice on applications would rise to £125 per hour.Mr Pugh, who farms sheep and beef in Dinas Mawddwy in Gwynedd, said he already had a permit to spread dip but for anyone needing a new licence or to change an existing one, the costs would be "horrendous".

Rise of the natural red pigment ‘prodigiosin’ as an immunomodulator in cancer - Cancer Cell InternationalCancer is a heterogeneous disease with multifaceted drug resistance mechanisms (e.g., tumour microenvironment [TME], tumour heterogeneity, and immune evasion). Natural products are interesting repository of bioactive molecules, especially those with anticancer activities. Prodigiosin, a red pigment produced by Serratia marcescens, possesses inherent anticancer characteristics, showing interesting antitumour activities in different cancers (e.g., breast, gastric) with low or without harmful effects on normal cells. The present review discusses the potential role of prodigiosin in modulating and reprogramming the metabolism of the various immune cells in the TME, such as T and B lymphocytes, tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), natural killer (NK) cells, and tumour-associated dendritic cells (TADCs), and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) which in turn might introduce as an immunomodulator in cancer therapy.
