I haven’t had a non-compliance for many years but still think that with every year that passes, the more ridiculous the dairy red tractor rules become. They add ever more stuff to it that really is none of their business annually. It’s really getting too much, along with all the other regulations, that for a small business, which all but the very biggest farm estates are, it is just way over the top and I’ll be very happy indeed to say goodbye to it all very soon and pack the job in. This will be forced on me anyway by slurry storage and maximum application rules. Good on them to give me a deadline for chucking the job in, which is 2024 at the latest for slurry regulations which I have zero intention of investing hundred’s of thousands of Pounds to comply or to find a home for 1000 tons of slurry off my farm on someone else’s.If there’s an issue with the whole scheme, speak to somebody above the inspector who literally was just doing their job. To be fair it sounds to me the ones with a massive problem with it are just the ones that are non compliant.
Let them eat cake, or tree bark, and drink pop as far as I’m concerned. They have drawn a line that I’m not even going to attempt to comply.
