Eventually ends up in the local river by the looks of things. Funny how the EA, DEFRA and Red Tractor can have one rule for farmers - for everyone else it's a free for all.
Note the 5,000,000 litres of de-icer used.

Lead or environment friendly steel?
I read the first few pages but just suddenly got overwhelmingly weary with it. Lot of good stuff in there, stuff that people will applaud but then ignore. Undoubtedly sensible and well-meaning. Lots of thought gone into it but lots of obvious probelms. Oh, and eat less meat and dairy. Oh dear. Then you start to question just how switched on they really are. Also there's that familiar diagram from RethinkX again. No thanks.
Isn't all this chaos an inevitable outcome of environmental naivety, if you suddenly announce to the world that oil has no future & electric is the wonder cure it's hardly a surprise that oil companies stop drilling for new oil finds. As finding new natural gas supplies is a fortunate result of oil exploration it's hardly surprising that gas rich countries like Russia who think power is preferable to eco fads quickly manipulate the gas market to their advantage & are easily able to cripple stupidly underprepared naive countries like the UK. Time to get back into North Sea oil exploration & find more natural gas & delay all these electric wonder vehicles until we have electric security?

But every year there's a fert price " threat ". Closely followed by a seed shortage " threat ". All we need now is a Christmas sprout shortage " threat " to complete the package.

Seeing as CF and Yara have supported British farmers I think we should return the favour by buying Lithan and Pulan next year!

When will Britain start fracking I wonder?

Just think of the lack of wind for all the turbines
Also what concerns me is the added pressure of Govt trying to claw back money by finding further climate change levies on fuel/elecy prices too

Well no fert not allowed to spread muck,
organic is the future then I suppose
But at least it will cure the lorry driver shortage as there be a lot less grain to haul about
Im thinking about spring barley
get some ELMS subsidy for overwintered stubbles
lash pig poo on the stubbles in spring
Incorporate to make a seedbed and sow spring barley
Hardly any sprays needed
Won’t need any/much extra fert
Should manage 2 t/acre at least
Bit of straw
once harvest is over the son & heir can go working land for neighbours with his big swanky tractor & sumo earning £££
I go on holiday to visit family in Australia til February when I come back to start preparing for spring cultivation’s
I like that plan
