Ahead of OSR yes, else no 
Not sure how the EA could loose a court case for enforcing the law which has been in place for a few years? Authorities and NFU should have done more to lobby for amendments before the law was passed!

Although the Met Office say we are now in Meteorological Autumn, strictly speaking we are not until September 23rd.
So, I’d carry on until then at least.

Crack on with sludge. Thames have a letter from the EA saying just that.
Booked next seasons today

The solution to this is quite simple,
we effectively can’t spread sh!t anymore so have to buy ridiculously priced fert instead,
therefore we won’t make any money
so won’t be paying tax.
So to alleviate the loss of income her majesty government will need to make a saving.
So they could cut funding to the waste of time that is the EA!

had a disturbing talk yesterday, basically saying, phosphate regs are coming in, esp here, in a danger zone, no autumn spreading of shite, unless you can show crop needs it, difficult, increased storage will be needed, next step, you will only be able to spread, if you can show crop need, at any time, plans afoot to tighten up, on dirty water irrigation, you must meter it, and justify it's use. FFS that is getting ridiculous, and completely unworkable, but, the climate change zealots, are convinced climate change is caused by farting cows, so right up their street, lets just hope, someone see's sense. Unfortunately, the above probably does look sensible, when correctly presented to the 'unknowing' by those zealots.

If everyone did the same in protest, I'm sure the powers that be would be forced to reverse their decision.

I don’t think it has much to do with climate change, but everything to do with pollution getting into watercourses.
If we ignore the incidents due to sewage treatment plant discharges
, there are plenty of dairy units that have P&K indices at 4+, and continuing to spread slurry whenever they can travel. It’s those guys that bring all this shite down on everybody. A sledgehammer to crack those nuts, rather than crack down on those few instead.

We used biosolids for a few years around 12 years ago and they pushed our P indices up to 3's and 4's in a couple of years so we stopped using it.I don’t think it has much to do with climate change, but everything to do with pollution getting into watercourses.

Poultry units are being blamed for high levels of P in the river Wye. I suspect the thousands of tons of biosolids being spread are the real culprits.
So the root cause of these regulations is that there is a nutrient surplus in some areas of the UK ? If that's the case, then the root cause needs addressing.

Nail on head. Right how do you propose this issue be resolved. Looking forward to reply.
As I may have said before, by localizing our food economy.
edit: not localizing, relocalizing. This is just one of the countless issues that never was an issue until we allowed the marketplace to go the way it has.
