I think E A regs are in a different universe to what is actually happening on farms this year. Field heaps are "allowed" but all around my way, brown liquor is running out of gateways onto the roads!! Box muck has been turned to stodge by that stuff falling out the sky. I think being forced...

Well said....we should be allowed to get rid of dirty water all year round. We are producing food after all....not just polluting for the fun of it like many other industries/pastimes.

Rt just picks up the money.

I don't think they'll launch it....it's all about rt survival now!!

What about reed beds? Are they allowed? I saw a big write up about one somewhere and wondered if they were actually a goer. Us farmers perhaps ought to lobby for dirty water to be allowed to be spread year round in some situations. Would certainly help keep me farming!! Gov would possibly...

You won't be able to empty tanks will you? Have to store it for a large amount of months!!

It needs taking off nfu hands by us killing rt!!

Yes, don't give up! See the buggers out!!

I agree, if they don't bring it in, we'll back off too much on rt...which is no good, they need a good kicking n all.

Katie, please send your findings to the national press!!

I'm sure we could have some power if we got organised.

Just thinking if we all stuck together and said NO to them, then they could demand all they want. It's not as if they're not going to need our produce....rt or not.

Ps. I'm completely ready to put my name to a list!!

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to start compiling lists of farmers in individual sectors that would all ditch rt on the same date should we not get the outcome we're looking for from the review!! Wouldn't hurt to have these lists ready to go should the need really arise. Probably best done...

I think rt needs a fair bit more than "backing up 20yrs" Olly. There is no sign of any change. Assurance needs taking out of rt hands....maybe farmer led? It should be proper basic and have a supportive rather than punitive attitude. No farmer should fear the inspections. Helpful visits might...
