What are your thoughts on the fertiliser price s for 2022

Ya Slurry is an often underappreciated nutrient. However you have to have the organic capacity to import it, this effects your nitrates allowance.

If you import 1k gallons of pug slurry it's about 18-20 kgs organic N if I remember right. There fore 20k gallons is about 400kgs or equivalent to the nitrates of about 7 in no of 1-2 year old cattle got 12 months

Nothing is ever imposed politically until it has to be. The evil day is always left as long as possible. Solutions cost money and again are left to the last minute.

It the same with households nobody spends money until there is no other choice. Housing regulations were put off in this way in the noughties as it was too much of an impact. Because off that ten years of house building was at a lower standard than it should have been.

All these facts have been staring us in the face for the last ten years but we decided to ignore them. In 2-5 years time when calf exports are banned you will have lads cribbing and crying. Look at the cribbing and crying over the EU calf and incalf cow rules. Remember the cry of upward only convergence.

It up to any business to be aware of what is happening around it. Too many lads running around without acknowledging what is happening.

Nobody like change to be successful you have to manage it and adapt with it. I would not for a minute not acknowledge that these changes have been telegraphed for the last few years. But most are unwilling to be aware of them.

It was plough on it will not happen and someone else can cut back.

No I have not, but I have put my system and house in a way that at present it is manageable. I will continue with this as time goes on.

Wouldn’t necessarily disagree but unfortunately weather and storage space dictate a lot of the time so it’s near on impossible to get the right time to spread.

Bought a lorry load of cut sward today .

840. Delivered. Was a cheaper one for 820
