Good job it’s not the industry experts job too actually produce food…

Idiots aren't they

so, am I right in thinking, the Environment Agency doesn't like spreading muck in the autumn, and Welsh Lamb and Beef producers don't want the ground grazed for 6 months, and our UK agricultural minister says we can replace fertliser with FYM, I am a bit confused by it all. Muck on fields in the spring, ready to graze in the autumn, and muck on land in the summer ready to graze in the following spring. It's all a good job that there isn't going to be a food shortage in the UK isn't it.

Don't need grazing animals at all, we should all be vegan. Just buy the FYM from the shop

Don’t need grazing animals at all because food comes from the supermarkets

There is a small risk of Johne's being picked up by sheep if they have contact with muck from Johne's infected cattle. But most of them tend to graze bits of grass rather than bits of muck.

Apart from that, I can't think there will ever have been a recorded incidence of ewes or lambs coming to harm. In fact, at one time in the celebrated meadows of the Yorkshire dales, ewes after lambing would have had little or nothing to graze in Spring if the fields hadn't been well-mucked in February or March. And where the muck was from Dairy Cows, it promoted even better grass growth, and resulted in the healthiest bonniest-headed lambs anyone has ever seen - especially those fed on turkey pellets before sale.
