Just wanted to give everyone on here a heads up. If you get contacted about the above asking to come out and give you some free "advice". I would not accept under any circumstances.
I got told that it was to do with countryside stewardship and was only coming to offer advice on grants etc. I spoke to my stewardship field officer afterwards and he said he'd never ever heard of it
Turned up yielding a clipboard which is never a good sign. It became very clear it was actually an inspection of the farms slurry and silage
I've just found the report emailed to me and the way it has been worded I can just absolutely tell it is going to be used against us at some point.
He's decided we have 2 months slurry storage for my 80 cows, whereas 180 cows have had their slurry stored here previously all winter. After last winter my pit never reached more than 1/3 full (didn't spread anything between October 10th and March 15th) although I do appreciate there was not a lot of rain last year.
I wish I never let him on the farm and just thought I'd give everyone else a heads up just in case. I'm actually quite worried what they will use the report for in future.
