Trailer for moving muck

I’ve been offered some pig manure from a local farmer, does Farm Assurance allow me to use a grain trailer to move it (and use it for grain again) or are the rules similar to TASCC?

Don’t know about importing Muck but they are fine with our home produced cattle muck on grain trailers as long as you write down when it was cleaned and sanitised

Until you deliver into another store.

Our inspector backed down when I said we'd have to sell both our trailers and buy 2 new ones (no guarantee that a used trailer has not been used for muck) and another for muck. The rule is a nonsense and they all know it.
