They haven't got their A-level results yet .....
My eldest daughter is getting nervous already about it!

That’s how I read it.Just had a play with MANNER and I stand to be corrected but if I applied 35t/ha to stubble beginning of sept and followed by w wheat, nitrate losses are 5kg - so that's OK is it?
Rather inconvenient for the National Food Strategy with it's recommendation of raising average national cereal yields by 30% though......Do the gov really care if a farmer grows 4 ton an acre of winter cereal crops or 2 of spring . Less to handle , less to dry . If we run out we can always import as then it's some other countries carbon footprint until it hits the UK coastline . Sure our lot see everything imported as 100% green until it's in the UK
Correct,packed up broilers 10+yrs now,site has been used for rearing birds up to the point of lay,and this is the last flock,be empty this time next week.Yep. Saw you had a few heaps of nutripoo sat in fields. Who spreads yours? The MPs husband. Didn't realise you were packing in with the broilers. If you get prosecuted reckon you will have several others at the magistrates with you!
I presume so as:Presume we are still allowed to put muck on before planting maize.
We never do that as the fields have stubble turnips on until spring . Presuming the sheep wintering is still allowed that is.I presume so as:
a) That's in spring
b) There's a clear crop need
You won't be allowed to put it on in autumn, plough it in and leave it for the frost to break it down over winter though.
Used to be common practice though. We first grew forage maize in about 1984.We never do that as the fields have stubble turnips on until spring . Presuming the sheep wintering is still allowed that is.
I haven't been able to get through to Manner.Just had a play with MANNER and I stand to be corrected but if I applied 35t/ha to stubble beginning of sept and followed by w wheat, nitrate losses are 5kg - so that's OK is it?

I said elsewhere that I had emailed the EA last Thursday (I think) ; auto reply - we may not reply for even more than the 20 working days that we are supposed to reply in - due to covid.Did you work out if had to email the EA to request a derogation even though the old pig muck will deliver a nitrate loss less than 5 k/ha according to MANNER. Trying not to email the EA and raise head above parapet. But conscious the spreaders soon gotta start work.

I don't really want to be a guinea pig in a court test case,front of the queue or at the back!

He hasn't been in touch yet,Its not good when he's invested in all the kit,staff etc.... and cannot spread.Whats the MPs husband reckon then?! He should have a better idea than most of use what the government intends? Or at least I would expect him too!!!
Keeping my powder dry ATM hoping someone somewhere will see sense. Problem is that the field heaps are in full view of anyone driving past so may have to contact them. Oh to farm down a fen somewhere!Did you work out if had to email the EA to request a derogation even though the old pig muck will deliver a nitrate loss less than 5 k/ha according to MANNER.

I was wondering if he can still spread fibrophos?

Was pondering the field heaps Friday. Trying to work out if passing traffic and general public would know what was happening and report to EA. What a game.
