[QUOTE="Luke Cropwalker, post: 7493368, member: 397"] Currently a farm within an NVZ can spread either slurry or FYM before autumn sown crops. As long as the farmer complies with closed periods then the NVZ regulations are satisfied. If an allowance for the autumn N is made on the spring N top dressed fertiliser then RB209 has been followed, for P&K then as long as indices are monitored and don't get too high then again RB209 is followed. If the farming rules for water require a justification for autumn N then other than for OSR this is going to be very difficult. If the EA are going to press ahead with enforcing this then a substantial period of adjustment within the industry will be required, only recently the EA themselves have signed off AD plants who will be autumn spreading digestate. Most livestock units and AD plants will now need almost 12 months slurry and FYM storage. I can't see there being enough land made available for spring spreading of all of the biosolids. In theory a FACTS advisor can recommend something that doesn't follow RB209 as long this can be justified. However, in reality it would be very brave advisor who did this and could potentially end up in court fighting the very deep pockets of the EA. [/QUOTE]
