A bit like speeding tickets then. Do the course for a day and don’t get the points.

If it leads to bladder overfill, you'll be sentenced to another 10 minutes.

Really? missed that, what a stern punishment for such a heinous crime…
Do you watch the video in a dimly lit cell under supervision from an Oberfuhrer ??
Presumably a non conformance would be spreading without justification from a Facts advisor ??

I'm tempted commit a minor breach of the rules just to critique the quality of the science in the new basis module, aka 45 minute power nap.

using ammonium nitrate with current soil condition has much higher risk of nitrate leaching and run off
urea is more likely to stay in the soil
in normal year it is easy to spread all the urea before April 1
this year soil damage from inappropriate field work is far worse for the environment
we do have to abide by the rules to ensure we are forced to use more costly fertiliser

You get less for shop lifting.......
Do we get NROSO points if we have to watch it?

I heard that you can apply untreated urea after the cutoff date if you can show that it was washed in soon after. That will not be hard to prove this year.
I've also been told that the inhibitor that we would have to add to liquid UAN had a shelf life of 48 hours once mixed in the tank........ so how long does it last once it's applied onto the field?
It's a load of cobblers.

Yes, indeed, I’ve not worked out if ammonia emissions aren’t a thing in the devolved nations or you just never have the weather for volatilisation in Crapweathershire

I don't know why they didn't just ask us all to watch the video, and then use our brains to decide if it's suitable conditions for spreading urea.
Hot and dry on 10th of April, then think about using AN or protected urea.
Forecast cool and very wet for week commencing 15th April, crack on using unprotected urea.
It's not protected, then?

Or make us responsible financially for making sure the expensive stuff goes where it's needed.
It would make more sense to make it law for fert spreaders to have a lid so you can go spreading in the rain.

And the worst of it no doubt in XX years time the science will say inhibitors have done more harm than good or are worse for environment than the normal urea. Do any inhibitors have to be tested and proved to Government before being sold like pestcides? Or do they just sell you a product with the word inhibitor on the can/ bag?

Our drains are still running.Need a new calendarView attachment 1172491
If it remains rainy and cool, we ought to write to RT, DEFRA and NFU and ask if we can still apply unprotected urea, or would they prefer we ued leachable AN instead?
