Thank you @Robbie morgan what would the method of application be, to what crop, at which time of year and how much would be applied?
Don't know its not mine it's Adam 1973 so need to contact him but see your pointThank you @Robbie morgan what would the method of application be, to what crop, at which time of year and how much would be applied?
Just because someone can drive a tractor, it doesn't mean they can operate the machine on the back properly. Large scale is irrelevant - the best operators I know don't come from big outfits - they come from anywhere. Attention to detail is key.
I'd trust a good sprayer operator, or such like to do a better job of muckspreading than a guy who's spent his whole life doing it. It's all about being skillful and using those skills correctly.

Look above , already postedYes @Robbie morgan I had read the posts correctly now, so same question to @adam1971 please. A rough guide of the type of material would be helpful as well, is it food waste?
The EA will agree a total application rate. And part of the deployment process is thorough field mapping with land drains, water courses, footpaths etc clearly marked, so everyone from director and agronomist level, down to field operator level, can see. Operator has to legally have this 8 formation to hand whilst spreading.Interesting that you say that I was thinking it would be too dry to shallow inject but was prepared to go along with your information. Why do they dilute so much, which must add massively to transport costs? If they dilute with waste water from the factory it will alter the analysis, the biggest issue I would have with that application rate is the fact that it is the equivalent of 12mm of rain and is asking to create pollution issues on any drained land.
I think we have established that the OP is trying to get rid of a waste product to farmland. In order that we all become greater informed does anyone on the forum know how much disposal at landfill or an AD plant would cost? Mods - would it be possible to move this thread to Agricultural Matters to get a wider audience?
If this food waste is deployed then it costs £750 for every 50ha. Who pays for this?

Its probably listed in this but I can't be bothered to find it:

I would expect the supplier of the waste to pay for this, as well as spreading costs. The OP was wanting to put waste into farm lagoons, I suggested a gate fee would be appropriate in this instance.
