Contractors on lockdown

[TomAg]

With the new rulings coming in last night where does it leave Agri contractors, can we still get out to spread slurry or is it shut down for us to?

Be typical to shut down now as the ground has just come fit!

As contractors are vital to the running of farms (food producing businesses) I would say its business as normal for you guys. Just take the relevant precautions where needed.

Keep calm and carry on .....the new measures are purely to control the roaming public .

 

[Princess Pooper]

Can you spread someone else's slurry at home?

Thought not. Carry on.

Some of the public are cockwombles!! Stay at home is the clearest message yet! Hard luck if you live in an area with no green space! My sister in law lives like you out in the sticks all be it 6 miles from two big towns but since this all started no end of folk coming out parking on verges and in gateways to walk their dogs!! People just don’t get it do they?

The way I’ve read it is that contractors are part of food production. Obviously you need to be sensible, if the job can wait then it should, but if you are working on your own and not posing a risk to anyone then why shouldn’t you carry on?

In Spain you can only walk 250m from your residence for dog walking or exercise and then back again

Construction will most probably be stopped as its not essential,

Some of the general public are thick as f**k this is a serious virus ?, time for more force I think army time

 

[deleted user 837354]

Contractors, vets, feed deliveries, livestock hauliers etc all need to continue or everything will come to a halt rather sooner than expected I would suggest.

Small amimal vets have been asked to compile list of supplies and may even be called upon to take up NHS work!

That will be the next step won’t it? Slowly,slowly.

Still plenty building contractors going about this morning 3 abreast in a transit

Driving alone in a tractor to get to a job will be fine.

The NAAC (National Association for Agricultural Contractors) is issuing daily email advice. Agriculture is a key worker industry, but you should still stay home if at all possible
