Who’s been a naughty boy?

Anyone know the actual full story here? Apparently it runs straight onto a stream but looks like a fair tree line to me.

It looks bad, but no slurry will get to the river, it will disappear in the forest. Don’t know where or who it is in the photo, but a large local outfit has a similar situation to this and spread when we’re on stop.
What’s the issue with long grass, surely preferable to a billiard table?

We don't help ourselves doing things like that

rumour has it that a certain Carmarthenshire based dairy had been utilising covid to its advantage and sending it straight to the river through the night. I truly do hope that this would be beneath even them!

agreed. We had no choice but to pump before Christmas and it was wetter than I’d of liked. We’re no where near a river but we may a clear effort to only spread the flat in the fields to minimise run off. Chap pictured could’ve done the same. Atleast he would then have half an argument

We have been in an NVZ for the last 20 ish yrs so the things in the picture are just not seen, i am sure the person in the pic would be the first to complain about being in an NVZ

It’s not the best of photos , can’t see clearly what is happening there but that looks an extremely wide spread, it ain’t half blackening it up and the spread line has a very sharp bend in it, I couldn’t say with any certainty but that picture doesn’t look quite right.

Was thinking the same it’s certainly not an umbilical set up

Looks like the poster comes from Carmarthen, but there’s nothing to say she took the picture.

Dribble bar maybe? You could get a pretty wide spread with two splashplates and plenty of pressure though. Easy to put a kink in it like that if following a headland but i agree, its hard to tell.

Few points:

EA allow for spreading on frozen ground provided that it is not frozen for more than 24 hours (odd, but there you are) and I would be far happier travelling on that than a pudding

It is very likely that the guy's slurry pit was full to the point of overflowing. Provided that there was no danger to a watercourse, better diffuse than point source

Not good PR but there are two sides to every story

 

[toquark]

Round here you won’t get on the ground between November and March without it being frozen.

Said Janice posting from her horse paddock that makes the Somme look green!

No accounting for how others might operate but everyone I see seems to like straight runs, ok, they might follow a slight curve but that’s a 90 degree bend them back to straight

One things for sure, there's enough detail in that picture for him to know who's dobbed him in, should imagine they can look up now, frozen ground, long grass, sounds perfect conditions, wouldn't take much of a sprinkle to make it look black, just making some thing out of nothing.

Without being too much of a miserable git (me that is) why put that on here if you've not got concrete evidence, just makes us all look bad.

Its only January. Shouldn't the farm have more storage, and possibly separate the clean water better. I don't know the rules.

Grass is still growing in the SW

From a previous thread it seems to be rife in Wales

I used to get bored and try all sorts of different ways of doing paddocks without tying the pipe in knots
Used to try and do it the same way the mower would travel if the ground was a bit soft to avoid making it rough, back before there were these hose humper things. The aim was always to have the minimum amount of wheel tracks.
Years since I've done any but I thought you were supposed to have enough storage for winter these days?

Different rules in different parts of the country though
