Nothing wrong with ammonia until it’s mixed with vehicle exhaust emissions. Mentioned briefly at the beginning..........

Thank you for that education.

no genuine farmer should belong to the nfu ,simple, paying membership in the that shower just helps dickheads like him to continue with their lining of their own pockets and egos and at the detriment of others .

Anyone else remember when the GOVERNMENT advisory body NAAS (Which became ADAS in 1971) began to encourage dairy farmers away from straw based housing towards slurry systems which are now being pilloried as ammonia pollution generators -
Surely those who recommended and grant aided this system bear some of the responsibility….

None of these government employed people would know the meaning of the word “responsibility”.

Ab

Abi Reader doing a good job though

I wasn’t impressed when she stated that the government needed to give her more money to subsidise the roof on her slurry tower so that the price of milk could remain affordable to the general public. I couldn’t help thinking that if agricultural produce doesn’t keep pace with inflation ( as it hasn’t) is where the problem lies.

The guy showing off the moss on the trees away from intensive ag etc ......

I reckon the trees had moss because they're in a high rainfall area .....

My father said fifty years ago that the NFU were only representative of the big arable farmers and the gentleman farmers: and the FUW only cared about the beef and sheep hill farmers.

Maybe a little too much of a generalisation, but as the years have passed me by I have learned that he wasn’t too far off from being very accurate in his opinion.

I have recently left the NFU after some forty years of membership, 90% of my decision was triggered recent revelations about Minette Batters and the great Red Tractor con.

But it’s no real surprise is it? I really should have left the whole corrupt sham of a second rate circus about twenty years ago.

Of course in the arable areas they will only look at the south facing side.

Moss only grows on north side

Moss only grows on north side

I know, thats the point, the producer sets the agenda.

And yet - “Vehicles with SCR technology have a separate tank filled with AdBlue. This is then injected into the exhaust pipe, in front of the SCR catalyst, downstream of the engine. Heated in the exhaust, it decomposes into AMMONIA and CO₂.”

Nasty farming doing bad things, cuddly seals and rspca doing good things what a farce

The seal woman clearly couldn't see the irony in her comment "they just want to be left alone".

In celtic rainforest, it grows anywhere it blimmin' well likes! Stand still too long and it'll launch itself at you!

I haven't watched the prog yet, but prevailing winds make a huge difference to where air pollution does harm. It doesn't seem long ago when grass stopped "doing" where sulphur capture stopped regular deposits from power stations and ironworks. It was pollution, it caused acid rain, but it demonstrated how pollution spreads and where to. Hope he wasn't just farmer bashing.

 

[zaffy]

One man and his dog.
More like one man and his docks!!!

Not seen it, but surely can't be worse than my fields.

Countryfile in hot water as viewers switch off and say '30 secs is enough'

BBC viewers hit out saying "30 seconds is enough" after Sammi Kinghorn and Matt Baker were back on air.

[primmiemoo]

There is no climate change scam, so that's an ignorant insert in the article. Is the target market for the Birmingham Mail on the gammony side?

 

[primmiemoo]

Just wondering. Is there a thread about first spotting of frogspawn, and those small harbingers of Spring 2024, anywhere? There's suddenly loads of fresh spawn, here.

 

[britt]

I think there is a thread called "nature notes".
