Ending of the Common Agricultural Policy.

About 40 m from the house a couple planted 30 acres which would be better than the land I'm farming and built a house on it, they figured out after finishing the house they didn't want to live in it and it's left now. Other side of the farm another 30 acres was planted which was easily accessible for our cows. Both have devalued their assets by at least a half, while one has practically devalued completely their asset.

Rotting FYM interferes with nitrogen levels in the soil, Any recommendations you see regarding FYM is usually for well rotted FYM for that reason

Horse **** my good friend your full of it no ordinary horticulture course would spend time running down another enterprise without a dubious motive

Now that would be some pain in the nuts keV I would crack up

Forestry land is worth a lot less than agri land.

Once planted under a grant scheme, it is classed as forestry. It needs to be under trees forever thereafter, so one the current crop of trees is cut, it would need to be replanted again…

May not be an issue for your friends, but generally speaking forestry land would be 3-5k/acre whereas agri land could be 10-15k/acre (all depending on location of course)

If your friends want to plant, leave em off. But I would caution against planting land just out of spite against the people who rented it and there was perceived issues…

I think it's quite clear now that you're making all this up. There are more holes in your story than a sieve.

There also has to be a sign displayed in a prominent position. If it's not the person that comes to inspect the site will insist that the planning be re-applied for.

I live beside them, only when the digger was in the signs were put up

There you go it's a horticulture course your nice aren't you. you wouldn't want to mention peat moss or anything god forbid mention anything about another industry without a underhanded motive it's been explained to you that slurry spreadin is not harmful when done properly If the farmers abused the land fair enough it's been repeated plenty on here we're all against such practices put up your pictures till we see sa for me I'm here for the craic to pass the time.....as you said yourself

What exactly am I caught for 😂😂 Your not really selling your point there

From your posts I can tell you have limited farming experience. One mans “damage” is standard in another mans field. Weather windows can be tight.

I am sure if they stored bales then it did get cut up removing later. No big deal. A run of Harrow and you wouldn’t even know it next year.

There could have been any number of reasons the second cut was late, reasons making it unavoidable to do some damage. We missed a window this year ourself on 2.5 acres. Fert was a little late going out for second cut. Then when the weather was ok it wasn’t quite fit to cut, then when it was fit the weather window was gone. Could have got it there three weeks ago but didn’t as the quality of forage would have been poor.

I am assuming the land is a little heavy and that makes saving silage a little difficult.

so where are these pics ?
