[QUOTE="Pan mixer, post: 2144408, member: 5334"] I am pretty sure that you must complete the calculations before you even look at the spreader in the Spring. In fact in leaflet 6 Annex 1, page 7 it says 'Make the assessment before each application of manufactured nitrogen fertiliser.' The real killer for me though As I am all grass, is the guessing how much rain we will have for the rest of the season - page 5 - ''if it [the crop] is grass, the intended management - cut or grazing' (in fact from RB209 a lot more complex than that) How will I know now? Also guessing how many animals will be grazing each field, when, how much cake they will have, how many Kg of beef or lamb are produced per Ha per month, how many calves will be born, cows die etc. Add to that work out how many sows I will have each month, ditto weaners, growers and fatteners and the percentage occupancy of each of my buildings, whether it will be dry enough to spread FYM on my fields this year, how much I will; export, where that will go? Then calculate all that with half the farm in an NVZ and half out and you have a recipe for a lot of frustration [/QUOTE]
