In theory someone with the FACTS qualification is able to assess the current weather, temperatures, soil type, etc and judge that the risk of volatilisation is low enough to warrant the use of liquid UAN fertilisers. If your current supplier of liquid fertiliser is not willing to do this then I...
You can have both options on the same parcel with a spring start date. The over winter cover and the legume fallow will be in different SFI years but they will be on the same parcel.
Yes, when you submit the changes they will ask the purpose of the change. There will be an option to tick that you are changing for an SFI agreement, it would appear that the RPA are prioritising these.
Sit down with a piece of paper and write down a realistic scenario that you think could work. You have some stock, skills etc but no land. The estate has the land, buildings?, house? but no labour. The estate wishes to be seed to be involved with actively farming the land but does not wish to...
If the blend is supposed to be 40-0-0-14 and it is made up of urea and ammonium sulphate the each tonne of fertiliser should be made up of around 763kg of urea and 263kg of ammonium sulphate.
I believe it requires multiple days of this sort of temperature. The number of days required depends on the variety and can be up to around 30 or more.
The AHDB really need to take the lead on some form of alternative to RT, preferably a light touch scheme, if an assurance scheme is required at all for basic feed grains. It appears that RT is not required for many livestock markets but currently essential for milk producers.
I think GFC run by RT is a total non-starter. If a farmer wishes to start accounting for Carbon then the farmer should be able to look at the various schemes on offer and, more importantly how those schemes actually allow for Carbon sequestrations and emissions as there are different ways of...
I suspect he is eyeing up his next career move, onto the helm of a gravy train. That is the only reasoning I can come up with for such a stupid comment.
