Solid urea use restricted and to be regulated by Red Tractor

[Steevo]

Looks like the NFU have done a right number on arable farmers.

NFU's urea fertiliser consultation – using urea after 1 April 2024

The government consultation on reducing ammonia emissions from solid urea fertilisers closed in January 2021. Farming Minister Mark Spencer has warned that should the industry fail to introduce a scheme to reduce ammonia emissions from urea this year, then Defra plan to impose regulations.

Use of solid urea is now due to be regulated by Red Tractor.

The quote of the article from me was this:

NFU Deputy President Tom Bradshaw said: “Working alongside other farming organisations, such as AIC, we put forward a strong case to Defra for a robust and pragmatic industry-led approach, without which would have meant a ban on the use of solid urea fertilisers.”

What they didn't mention was Tom Bradshaw is now on the board for Red Tractor.

The cosy relationship continues.....and farmers continue to be stitched up by their own union who bizarrely consider this a "win".

The alternatives were total ban or protected urea only

or some other inspection system devised by defra / Rpa
their inspection system for bps /stewardship
or trading standards

or we just have to use ammonium nitrate which will be more expensive and harder to import

the biggest issue is now availability of fertiliser especially if gas is prioritised to domestic uses and fertiliser factories are idle

Who's banning it ? Carrie

Well if they couldn't fend off a fuuckin ban of solid urea use in the current climate they would be more than 'no fuucking use' !!!

I’d rather they banned it then have to work with those muppets

Environment agency ,Trading standards ,rpa or defra could have been used with a licence fee for the inspection

Gove had ideas when in defra before Boris was pm

The consultation closed a year ago

 

[JCfarmer]

I'm sorry for saying this but I can't wait for this impending food shortage mainly due to fertilizer price and availability!

Sadly, he will be next pm....

If they had have banned it now then the nfu would of had to 'FEND OFF' some very angry farmers! And then gone back to the government!

Unfortunately for those who cannot pay for expensive food you may be right
