Slurry ' closed period'

Need to remain open due to inclimate weather leading up to 15th Oct 17 closed window...

farmers must be listened too , we know how to work with the weather not the time of year like the pen pushers want us too

Makes sense!

This has to change

Lift the ban to such times when dry weather comes to us farmers get tanks red out!!!

If Brexit is to really happen let red tape be replaced by common sense.

Too many rules and regulations created by people who don't understand Irish weather and ground conditions. Time for changes!

calender farming doesnt suit or work in n ireland.

Longer slurry period needed

400 loads to go out and fields are soaking

Farmers should be permitted to farm according to the weather and ground conditions, not by dates imposed by the EU or government departments

Atrocious weather let common sense prevail

Now it's Tara that a good day in the winter ye can't spread slurry

With farming being Northern Ireland's biggest industry, having farmers set back due to the weather is a joke

Fertiliser ban needs looked at too. If the weather does improve we need to grow for grass on some drier ground for zero grazing, extremely short of silage and closed with TB

.

Tanks full and the weather isn't helping at all

How could there be a slurry ban this winter with tanks sitting half full already. A wee bit of cop on is required especially if the weather improves going into October

I'm a contractor In the south and the slurry ban causes huge amounts of slurry being spread over the next month on wet land and huge amounts being spread after the 15th of January whatever the weather before the ban we spread when the weather suited now we spread when we are allowed whatever the weather it's madness and it's very stressfull

It's probably wetter now than it would be in the middle of winter so why have a ban on spreading.
