Slurry deadline
It is just over a week before farmers can no longer spread slurry this year.
Conditions have deteriorated since July and many farms, specifically along the western seaboard, are now waterlogged.
Conditions on many of these farms are not suitable to spread slurry leading to calls for an extension to the deadline.
