Northern Ireland Milk Price Tracker

Hope so.
Best way to get tight fisted dairy farmers to give more to charity is pay 35p a litre, I'd happily give an extra tenner to my chosen charity then.

Back in Jan/Feb Dale Farm partnered with Cancer Focus NI for the year. Personally I think it would be a brilliant idea to do something similar for this local charity.

Who's to police if you need a dribble bar on your slurry tanker. 200 cow units. Is there a grant coming out next month for dbs

 

[Davy]

There was that rumour back in the spring, but have never heard it mentioned again.

What is the threshold, 200 actual milkers/mature cows or does young stock count in the 200?

I believe it's 200 cow units . Easy for ss niea to get it from daera

 

[Beef farmer]

So what's the score, more than 200 stock units you have to have a licence? Jump through more hoops?

 

[The Agrarian]

No. No more splash plate.

 

[Beef farmer]

Is that it? Can a mooscha be used?

 

[The Agrarian]

Is that not a type of swivelling splash device?

Answer. Low emission device.

On top of prior NVZ regs.

I thought Brexit meant no more rules

Low emission spreading equipment needed for nitrates legislation. 2020 for digestate, June 2020 for derogated farms, all contractors 2021 & farms over 200 livestock units from 2022.
We seem to be in a very small minority of derogated farms actually doing it by the books. I suppose the inspectors have been working from home but even the smallest fine on our sfp would cover the cost

That no longer seems to be a suitable defence

Too many salaries linked to rule enforcement.

We’re a derogated farm too been using dribble bar for past 6 years don’t think I’d want to go back to a splash plate to be honest
