While the slurry spreading closed period is difficult for some to deal with, it is there for a reason.
Water quality results will determine how farmers will be allowed farm in the future. We can’t let the actions of a few rogue operators jeopardise the future of thousands of family farms.
We can’t continue to turn a blind eye on those found flouting the rules and these people should have to face fines and penalties.

We need to be also mindful that just because the spreading period kicks in next week in the south of the country, it isn’t a free for all.
Ground conditions and weather forecast must be right to maximise the value of your slurry and minimise any damage to water quality.
