Slurry

Farmer ordered to pay £10,000 after pleading guilty to polluting Somerset watercourse

Natural Resources Wales said the leak had stopped people from swimming at Llangrannog and Cilborth beaches in Ceredigion

Ahead of the Welsh Government four-yearly review of the Control of Agricultural Pollution Regulations, NFU Cymru has set up a water quality review group

The funding schemes will provide support investment in on farm infrastructure to help 'build resilience to the potential impact of climate change'

High rainfall and saturated fields mean the timing of slurry application and first-cut silage will be a challenge for many grassland farmers this year

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said the rescue took over three hours to complete

NFU Cymru deputy president Abi Reader questioned where the ‘800' figure for the amount of farms targeted for inspection had come from and what evidence it was based on, adding she hoped it was not a ‘witch hunt'

Different rates of slurry and artificial fertiliser have been trialled by Ayrshire dairy farmer, John Kerr, to see how yields can be optimised and costs reduced

More than double the funding was on offer in the second round of the Slurry Infrastructure Grant. But with dwindling confidence in the dairy sector farmers are cautious about where, when and what to invest in, questioning whether now is the right time to apply

While requirements on slurry storage are subject to change, advice on the current slurry cover options and available support was discussed on a recent AHDB webinar
