Oh come off it you are the one spouting voodoo economics in support of paying subsidy to straw burners in the current circumstances. Typical Tory capital must get its return however idiotic the scheme. Incidentally do you think warksfarmers pet pig knows what goes on at the bullingdon club?

Supply and demand is basic enough to be taught to pre teenage children in schools.

This is my last reply to you on this matter. Your username is very apt! Bye bye.

That would be demand created by an idiotic government scheme in this case. The trouble with you blokes, you must be blokes, is that you are happy to hand out personal insults but you cannot take them.

Once again, fudge, ***you*** are the only one on this thread benefiting from the "idiotic scheme".

The same scheme that you, and only you, has a problem with. All the while spouting bullsh!t, pointing fingers and repeatedly calling the people who are NOT benefiting from the scheme "Tory" like you're some kind of village idiot.

@fudge, have you got any idea how stupid you're making yourself look?
Stupid is a value judgment. I standby what I say in the paying subsidy to straw burners doesn’t make sense currently therefore suspending that subsidy is a sensible move.

Yes, you're hauling less water with manure @ 25% DM than slurry @ 2-10%.

The water is useful bulk to have with a side benefit of irrigation in this weather!
We not disagreeing - just looking at it from a different angle. From my perspective, 100 beasts create fewer tonnes of slurry than they would of FYM.

I don't think it's the water that has made slurry useful this year - even a plastering is only a couple of mm, and that was soon gone, it just seems to be the ideal mix of available nutrients/bugs, bit like Clives tea.

There nothing worse than an extreme left wing Corbinite shouting and critising (very few listen anyway) especially on government policy but then happy to line their own pockets!
