We have all next years fertiliser on farm except for 10tons of DAP for the maize.
It doesn’t look like any fertiliser is being made in the UK anymore. So where’s it all going to come from in the future?
I'm a university student currently conducting research on nutrient use and waste, particularly looking into phosphate pollution of our waterways and eutrophication. As farmers are key stewards of the environment, I'd love to hear what you think about common questions on the issue.
