    Big Phils office got back to my local TD very quickly, an extension of the slurry spreading dates will not be contemplated because the EU will immeadiately raise concerns aout on-farm storage capacity and they just don't want to go there. IMO that's a bit of a cop-out but that's what the response was.

    Yes, but if you don't ask you won't get response.

    What submissions have the IFA made in this regard?

    This is an area where ye could mobilise people
