The scene of a disturbance which shocked neighbours on Tuesday night.

This house at Melton Old Road had been cordoned off for much of the

week, after 38`year` old Jonathan Smith from Doncaster died here from

gunshot wounds. Although described as an isolated incident, police are

continuing to patrol the area this weekend to reassure neighbours.Today

54`year`old Peter Guy from Melton appeared at Beverley Magistrates'

Court charged with murder. He's been remanded in custody, and will

reappear at Hull Crown Court on Wednesday. Yesterday a 15`year`old

boy, who can't be named for legal reasons, also appeared here in

court. He was charged with wounding with intent in connection. A nother

man has now been released on bail, and police are continuing to appeal

for witnesses. An East Yorkshire farmer says a new European

Commission rule that dictates the number of crops he must grow is an

attack on his human rights. The three`crop rule means those with

larger farms will have to grow at least three different crops on their

land. Those who break the rule will lose part of their European farming

subsidy. Jill Archbold reports. Springtime Britain, where the crops

are traditionally colourful and diverse. The European commission

wants landowners to grow more varieties, claiming diversity will

help the environment. Here, it is the last year this arable farmer can

grow whatever he wants. I do not want to be constrained by Brussels.

I want to be flexible to respond to whatever the market requires. We

want to be able to produce quality British food and supply the market,

not to have to grow crops with no market. Farmers with more than ten

hectares must cultivate two crops under the rules. If their land

exceeds that, they must cultivate three and the main crop might not

cover more than 75% of land. The National Farmers' Union said that

farmers are concerned and those who do not comply would risk losing 30%

of their EU subsidy. We have worked hard with the EU, trying to put

across the argument that it is an illogical process to enforce on all

member states. We argue strongly against the rule because it adds

complexity to the policy but does not add a great deal of

environmental benefit. In the shade of Scunthorpe's industry, evidence

that farmers like Andrew Jackson are already dedicating areas of land for

wildlife. He rotates and cultivates a variety of crops. Because my soil

is not fertile I have a wide variety, such as growing carrots on

this sandy soil of the people cannot. By growing different crops

it spreads the workload and marketing risks and prevents disease

build`up in the soil. Farmers like Andrew already grow three or more

crops but many will have to diversify what they crave from next

January. Hull FC have suffered a fourth successive defeat. They lost

20`6 to Leeds Rhinos at Headingley last night. Hull coach Lee Radford

said it was a more positive performance.
