I have to say my brain is starting to hurt with all these regulations and carrot dangling, I have been farming a considerable amount of years doing what the gov is telling me to do now, i have no brown soils over winter, the plough is safely tucked away at the back of the shed and only comes out on special occasions. Fert has been cut in half over the last 10 years and sprays also, red and white clovers have replaced fast growing rye grass. Now i,m being told i can,t spread mature and well rotted cattle muck onto DRY autumn ground for winter wheat. What do i do Janet, order some more expensive fert instead. When is the best time to spread? because it,s not in the spring when the water table is high from the winter. In the summer i want the grass for grazing and not covered in sh#t. Does the Gov know how the Nitrogen cycle works!!! EVERY FARMER knows Autumn is the best time for applying FYM.
