ok so my cattle muck can’t go anywhere and like others have said is this the end of livestock farming.Well to me it works both ways are they to ban sewage works then,because let’s look at it this way it’s waste ,it has drugs in it and it pollutes.

Despite that being an absolute car crash in a nutrient cycling, circular economy context and encouraging yet more methane generating from landfill......Water companies can if they wish send to landfill. Will explain to the public that this action is to improve the environment by not polluting water and add the extra cost to supply invoices. Simples.
Well, around here a lot of people are working on the same basis as you and we're about to find out what they come up with - unless the politicos U turn, which has been known...
I heard an EU AG' minister interviewed a few weeks ago - I think Dutch or Danish, probably Danish because it was a bloke - and he was dead keen on seeing the whole of the EU knock slurry use right back - I guess he must be a popular fellow somewhere...? But I can't see the French, for obvious socio-political reasons, making your life too difficult in reality, regardless of what may be required on paper.

Many water companies are now investing in on-site AD plants to extract bio-methane from their sludge, either for power generation or to inject direct into the mains gas grid. They are still left with the digestate to dispose of though and the ecological soundness of the whole scheme collapses if that final product is just landfilled.
So much "silo mentality" going on at the moment.
I'll leave it to you to tell them then!I look forward to the day when the top water pollutant is from female contraceptive pills and hrt, and young women are told they have to use alternatives; those will menstrual issues and menopause are told it's a fact of life and to live with it, as water quality directives come first.
Of course, there's not a cat in hell's chance that the general publics lifestyle choices can be criticised for anything at all. Ever.
We all knew it was coming and anyone
farming in a NVZ has to record and justify
their actions at the moment so it isn't much
more than levelling up the whole country.
On a positive slant more Grant's should be available
towards covered muck stores.
Above this postDoes anyone have a link to the 'Q&A' which has been referred to?
http://www.npa-uk.org.uk/hres/EA QA
link to Q and A above which someone else on here can take credit for if they wish as I couldn’t find it until sent it
The introduction of a Phosphate restriction is the 'elephant in the room' This will if policed fully by EA have potential to create more disruption to the UK monogastric livestock industry than anything else. hey ho.
I'll leave it to you to tell them then!
From the EA QA paper:
"16. Applying solid FYM in the spring when growing cereal crops is not very practical.
Organic manure can be applied in the autumn provided there is a soil and crop need or would not give rise to a significant risk of diffuse pollution. Provided the amount of readily available nitrogen in organic manure is low enough not to cause nitrate-nitrogen pollution, then it can be applied."
So as I stated previously providing you don't have high indices and can demonstrate low N leaching FYM is OK in the autumn.
