I had one about 3 years ago as I’m in an NVZ, a walk around the farm looking at yards, silage pits, chemical and diesel storage, muck storage and where roof/yard water discharged to, them into the house to check over NVZ paperwork, the whole thing took about 2 1/2 hours. I did a bit of gentle enquiring about how many inspections they do, apparently only one a day as they don’t know how long it will take and they have to write up a report afterwards, they certainly spent a lot of time writing notes here but found nothing wrong. No doubt they were thorough allthough I didn’t get the feeling they were trying to catch me out, they seemed keen to talk and advise.
Petition: Temporary Ban on agricultural use of sewage cake
In order to protect our land, we’re seeking a temporary ban of the agricultural use of sewage cake until better testing and treatment of waste can be proven. We call on all farmers after this harvest to refuse to accept any more until things change.
Some research suggests that the contamination of land is far more serious than just heavy metal build ups. There is an increasing amount of micro plastics and forever chemicals appearing in sewage cake. We think testing for these when it leaves the processing plants isn’t adequate, and that processing needs to adapt to be able to remove these contaminants.
