[Bury the Trash]

About time the housing planners / builders where taken to task over discharges but there's plenty around that have been passed in recent years with out effective in the long term actual soakaway drain offs / ultimate drainagecdestination sorted out before hand. all theyre interested in is money ....of more and building sites .

 

[serf]

Never saw such a load of ballocks. When all the land is planted up with trees make sure there is a lot of basket Willow to bury the starving numb nuts who ran out of food.

Its ok you see , when its all planted with trees you just import the food .........

 

[hally]

That makes it even funnier.
Why does adam never ask the right question?
4 years of cover crop to grow one crop of sh!t wheat? And elms is going to pay you the shortfall? C'mon Henson, ask the fecking question!!!!!
Oh, and is frit fly or whatever it is bad this year, haven't heard much on here about it?

It probably should have been mentioned as well he owns a considerable seed supply business as it was portrayed that he did this type of farming purely out of concern for the environment whereas his business supplies a lot of the seed required for all the environmental scheme options. So going down this route would be beneficial to his business, nothing wrong with that of course but it really should have been covered in his introduction.

Yes, but developers are trying to get away with nutrient off-setting before sorting themselves out.

I see Adam couldn’t even get his facts straight about Neonicitinoids! Stating that they were sprayed onto the crop.

 

[primmiemoo]

Which of Adam's crops received sewage sludge, can anyone remind, please?

Wasn’t Biscaya a neonic product that was applied by spray application to the growing crop?

Yes ,
Butactually It starts with planning , if that was not granted in the first place by the council or whoever , unless everything about the site was 100% suitable then there wouldn't be a problem.

Definitely should have been mentioned!!!!
what does he do with the 4 year herbal ley? Graze? He didnt mention that part.

He is a very clever guy and a born salesman and will no doubt greatly benefit from the move to environmental seed mixes which will inevitably be needed to fill the current trend away from actual food production. I would hazard a guess the whole farm is really trial plots for his business and not merely a move to environmental farming.

They’ll be back to pulling them with horses next!

Can't- animal cruelty/slavery.

 

[ollie989898]

We are unfortunately . Poles in two of my biggest fields that have no other obstructions. The land we own out of the village towards Shrewsbury

I thought that with Brexit and all that all the Poles had left?

Grazes it , its all here to wade thru

Too bloody right Robt!
Bloody Yorkshire this, Yorkshire that, Yorkshire the bloody other!

Anyone would think it were of some bloody significance that mattered, instead of some poxy little county that no one’s ever heard of, somewhere between Wales and’t North Sea.
I tell thee, I’m reet knobbed off hearing about nowt but bloody Yorkshire, so just think theesen on!!

Tha knows thee nobbut nowt about havin’ it tough in yer pansy bloody Yorkshire with yer Dales and yer Spas and yer lah di dah bloody Harrogate tea rooms with yer prim and proper waitress service of goujons of tripe and yer poncey little miniature Eccles cakes!

Tha knows nowt about havin it tough till thast’s bin brought up in a sack on a maggot pit next to sewage works in Rhyl!
Aye, we did, and no mistake: and we thought us sen lucky! And we ‘ad rats as big as Limousin bullocks running o’er yer just to get ter rubbish tip before yer could mek there it yersen!

So do yer sen all a favour in bloody Yorkshire; wherever the hell it bloody well is: and just think on!

Only joking lads, honest.
I’ll sithee!

Let's be totally honest mind, who the heck wants to see a show featuring Norfolk or Suffolk? A Blackgrass and marshland special maybe and a distant look at some real-life swamp donkeys?

Yes but the neonic were principally used in seed dressings in big amounts all over Europe.

They came to Norfolk/Suffolk borders once. I'll have you know we've got onions, and pigs, and rabbits.

He didn’t mention that on ”the file” though Leaving a crop for 4 years would soon turn everything to crap/brambles. Using the golden hoof increases fertility etc, no mention of that from what I saw...

the kids were talking so I wasn’t 100% concentrating mind

harsh!

Going by his description, I'm not too sure that @ollie989898 has actually ever been to East Anglia.

Uncalled for..... but yes Norfolk is like that
