[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 7932777, member: 3169"] Thanks for posting the link. Saved me finding it. I thought the EA Kevin Austin gave very clear and good explanations of the situation since 2018. Overall I would give the EA chaps 9 out of 10 for what was a difficult call yesterday as the Committee members in my view were looking for a bit of blood. And reiterated the issue was of DEFRA making as it was DEFRA that controlled and set the policy for the regulator to implement and had in effect stood to one side leaving EA to hold the baby. Made very good points about increased specialisation in Agricultural livestock production unfortunately leading to localised nutrient enrichment. The issue was and is manure with high available N. Poultry manures and Slurries - nothing new. And it will have to be for DEFRA to change the policy if these are to be allowed in Autumn. And for the EA to regulate that position. I expect straw based manures position to be relaxed for the coming Autumn use before cereals accepted on most if not all soil types. Anyway it is now for the Minister to make the decision. Cheers.
