With the slurry spreading season just a few days away in some parts, we focus on slurry handling and spreading. We also look at what new slurry handling equipment is available.
Firstly I would like to wish all readers a happy and safe 2018.
This week, we focus on slurry. We take a look at the value of both cattle and pig slurry to the land in terms of N, P and K. We give guidelines on what to spread and when depending on the time of year and also a few tips before you set off with your tractor and tanker.
A wetter than expected autumn forced a lot of farmers to house their stock earlier than planned, putting pressure on slurry storage facilities across the country.
