Fert in same shed as cattle

[Zippy768]

So I have 11 bags of urea under the same roof as 8 cattle.
Fert then combine next to it, then 8 cattle in a pen.
RT coming next week. Is this breaking one of their rules. Probably moan that there is less than a metre between bags and bine!

 

[gone up the hill]

Put a sheet over it...

Don’t show them that shed

Not that it's any of their business but put an extra gate between the fert and combine then sheet it up.
It's only urea, it's inert, not oxidising agent.

What difference does that make?

Hard not to. Its the "temporary" store

Are you going to have 6 wks between washing out after the cattle and harvest...
Or did I dream that one up?

Of you have washed and disinfected I can’t see why you need a 6 week break. Just wait for the floor to dry

Perhaps I did dream it, then

 

[Wombat]

Never been an issue here before for storage

The paper work will give the answer

So long as the cattle physically can't get at the bags, what rules are being threatened?

I dunno, probably some pathetic rule written somewhere amongst the red tractor twaddle

I think that rule has been revised to just being thoroughly cleaned. (CR.ST.9)

If it worries you then just load the bags on a trailer & phone a neighbour to see if you can drop it at theirs the evening before.

Oh I couldn't do that.
My fert stock sheet says there is 11 bags of fert on the farm .

I'm gonna leave it all as it is.

Worst case get a non conformance. Remove fert,take a pic and all is well.
Apparantly a new inspector doing the rounds in this area, not sure if thats who you've got. Good luck.

Got the usual guy. He always seems fair enough

 

[B'o'B]

As with most things RT it will depend on the inspector. If they have a “thing” about fert storage with other things in the same shed, then you will have to remedy.

If they don’t happy days.

It seems the inspectors always are given a new crusade each year to try and pull you up on from the mothership as well.

Just do what I do with everything I shouldn’t have before an inspection……hide it round the back of the house
