[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7862303, member: 86168"] Little problem there, we won't be allowed to spread fym, or, dirty water,[B] in the autumn[/B] unless you can show crop need, which you cant, there is a question mark over dirty water, and we must hope, someone sees sense, otherwise, we are really in the shite ! There is strong talk, that we will have to fit meters, on our dirty water pumps, so we/they can calculate how much goes on, and to justify that amount. The biggest problem with that, is it actually look like a sensible thing to do, practically not very sensible, but the people who decide, are not farmers, and do not understand the difficulties. As for fert, in spring, you are right, and we will leave grass to graze, come spring, some habits die hard, and a cold march wind, can easily remove that grass, as l have seen, many times. One plus of being in an NVZ, it does make you realise the value of muck, which for many, has been treated as a necessary 'evil' , another chore to do. Out of all the changes we have made, which are a lot, it is spring growth which worries me the most, perhaps not quite weaned of chemicals sufficiently, to take that leap of faith. Next spring will tell, there is 5 ton ish, in the shed, and unless it comes down, significantly, there wont be any more arriving. We are entering a new phase, in farming, and it can be intimidating, at the same time, as being exciting, and old habits die hard, so forgive my views on spring fert ! [/QUOTE]
