That would be a pity. There's a lot of negativity on here lately, I wonder was that it. Anyway we're all probably spending too much time on here anyway:rolleyes:

Here's the most current legialation I can find on the subject:
S.I. No. 610/2010 — European Communities (Good Agricultural Practice for Protection of Waters) Regulations 2010, Requirements as to manner of application of fertilisers, soiled water etc (Section 18 (4)):

Organic fertilisers or soiled water shall not be applied to land -

(a) by use of an umbilical system with an upward-facing splashplate,

(b) by use of a tanker with an upward-facing splashplate,

(c) by use of a sludge irrigator mounted on a tanker, or

(d) from a road or passageway adjacent to the land irrespective of whether or not the road or passageway is within or outside the curtilage of the holding.

"Sludge irrigator" is legalese for "rain gun".

RaggyDays

Are the rain guns illegal ?? I dont know how we`d manage around here without them. next thing they`ll tell us we cant spread the slurry from off the public road

Rovi

Any 'upward-facing' system is illegal, as is spreading from the road.
There certainly appears to be a lot of it going on though...

Loads of lads around here need to read that.

We would have none of these issue's if we had been allowed to spread during the beautifull; weather last november

A guy spreading from the road using the spout had the pleasure of being pulled by the coppers a few years back. Think he got in quite a bit of trouble, he was done by the cops and the coco. Someone obviously had it out for him

The image......it burns

small farms association

actually there was no paper in it while we got it sucked it up we empty it every year

also i noticed that the reason you see farmers covering large swathes of land with slurry is because theve loads of cows doing the dung and the tanks are really large

Utterly bollox tired this evening, lack of sleep over the last few days really catching up with me, fell fast asleep on the couch, so decide to call it an early night around 10, out to check the cows quickly, bloody heifer calving ugggggh. Finally finished now, fairly big bull calf (huge for an AA), had to jack it out, and she wasn't the easiest to manage either.

Greengrass1

Spent the last few hours picking bulls and expkaing the ebi to my uncle. He gas always had a bull so never bothered.
He had got the AI man to pick out s few bulls in the catalogue for him to see what I would think.
He has a liquid herd but is paid on solids and the AI man had picked out all high production bulls.
I showed him the bulls we will be using and not to worry about milk because it is well bred into them. Have picked out a few bulls for him and told him to pick on fertility and solids and not production.
Nice to know when someone older comes asking you for your opinion and values it
