December is probably when people are ram packed, i'll muck some sheds out next week, but they'll all be going in to the midden to rot down for next year

You can't spread slurry after the 15 October but you can spread FYM all year

i think they are okish, but they should put their money where their mouth is and put more grants out for slurry stores etc

Neighbours have been umbilical spreading for the last 2 or 3 days and I wondered when the closed season started. I think they call it dirty water as opposed to slurry though. 2 million gallons though nvz here too!

also depends on cow numbers and land you have in my view,

we have about 80 cows and maybe 40 odd followers on 100 acres, sometimes there's not enough sh!t imo

Its about wrapped up now a few bits and bobs about though

It's bizarre that my light ground is in NVZ, but the heavy wetter stuff isn't, because the water from those fields runs a different way, into Wales, as it happens.
One of my neighbours say's sod it, and spread cow slurry every day last winter. He said no one came to check or said anything!

i have a feeling it's usually people tipping of the EA about it that gets them in the sh!t, but they have these drones now, so who knows.

Could that be due to the fact it has rained nearly every day for the past 2 weeks!!!!!!
