Fencing around slurry pits and stores is a vital safety measure that is often overlooked. Here is some useful information from the HSE’s ‘Managing Slurry’ guidance, to provide you with a helpful guide on securing your slurry storage.
Defra officials have announced the launch of a grant funding scheme to improve slurry storage. Funding applications will be open Autumn 2022.
Regulations state that to store slurry over the winter in areas inside a NVZ, there must be a minimum storage capacity available, with sufficient facilities in place to store all slurry produced on the holding.
Slurry gas is a mixture of gases – the most dangerous gas is hydrogen sulphide which is extremely poisonous at a low concentration this gas will attack your sense of smell, so you will not even know it is there.
The Environment Agency are cracking down on the enforcement of the Farming Rules for Water Regulations in England. In a nutshell this means that manure which has traditionally been incorporated under the winter wheat during the autumn cannot be spread (unless agronomically justified).
Harvest time is one of the busiest and most demanding periods in the farming calendar. With long hours, heavy machinery, tight deadlines, and summer heat, the pressure can be intense for farmers and their families.
Defra has issued updated guidance on the application of organic manures this autumn with new rules placing much greater emphasis on planning and justification.
