Unfortunately its being used as a reason to shut up farms.

Basically the farmer (and his staff) have an obligation to warn you about any unusual hazards that you would not usually associate with that sort of farming enterprise.

They do not have to warn about natural hazards.

Bloody bureaucrats think that getting out of their chair is a hazard.
