Basically they haven't figured out a way to stop them doing it. However farmers are an easy target for now as we tend to whine on forums like this, than stand together and refuse to take another bucket full of crap.

They only want to fine members of the public.
They don't fine other government organisations, authorities or utilities.

I got some Sinus problems at the moment, the pain and general throbbing in my face is making it hard to think at times. Perhaps wishful thinking it's Covid related.

Put an immediate stop on the sewage cake delivery, just to give them all a headache at water companies and the EA.
Get some soil tests done. Take care to sample accurately.
Spread on your own FYM.
Spin a bit of rapeseed on for a summer catch crop.
Drill cereals as normal.

Probably developed by the same people who produced the first Ag support sofware for DEFRA

Or better yet walk and cycle!
I haven't read the link yet, not sure I've got enough energy left to do so frankly, just wondering how these proposals link in with the incorporate your slurry/manure within 24 hrs rule that's likely coming in? I'm starting to think I'm not actually mentally eqipped to cope with this nonsense any more.
Increase not stop
Any mis-calculation of manure application will be punished by being called in to the nearest EA office, trousers pulled down and a good caning applied! Accuracy must be paramount when muck is applied, those cows must be trained to move on after a poo so that excess nitrogen etc is not dropped in the same spot. We have a responsibility to train our livestock. These are dangerous times we live in and all risk must be reduced to a zero target.

I wonder what there calculations will be for grazing stock. Particularly those grazing cover/forage crops as the turd isn't meant for that crop....

i think any mob grazing chaps might be in for it as its a high volume of deposited manure in a short time...
How? I thought it only applied to artificial spreading of stored non-composted excretia.

The reason you see all these fat people is because they work for the EA .. and rather than "Pollute the environment" with their rear ends, they've stuffed a big cork up their bottoms. Hence the large rotundness of EA workers.

150 Outdoor pigs per acre and grazing livestock are completely ignored.
Ironic really, as can turn cattle into field of fodder beet for the winter, heavily stocked. But can't spread 5t/acre FYM in late summer on a 1st sept drilled wheat crop.
Having rules is one thing, but no respect from me if something else which is clearly more polluting gets ignored.

No, we are ok, as we are storing the organic manure at the place of production and at the place of use. Job done and no need for an RPS!

Number 4 is incredibly ambiguous. How do you categories off-site. Not like I'm going to start storing it in my garden am I......
