Spraying WW next door this morning on some brash or it could have been BG, whatever it had a green tinge to whatever it was growing, looked to be making a slight mess but not too bad. It may have been glypho in preparation for getting some drilling done on the frosts that are due?

Had my sprayer on yesterday . It was having its MOT.
By the way, what’s a reasonable charge for the MOT on a simple 18m mounted sprayer .

Petition: Temporary Ban on agricultural use of sewage cake

In order to protect our land, we’re seeking a temporary ban of the agricultural use of sewage cake until better testing and treatment of waste can be proven. We call on all farmers after this harvest to refuse to accept any more until things change.

Some research suggests that the contamination of land is far more serious than just heavy metal build ups. There is an increasing amount of micro plastics and forever chemicals appearing in sewage cake. We think testing for these when it leaves the processing plants isn’t adequate, and that processing needs to adapt to be able to remove these contaminants.
