CAN isn’t affected by volatilisation.
I know ya I didn't say it was . To be honest I forget what there main argument is against it 🤷♂️. But they are death down on it at the moment
Edit to add protected urea is what they want farmers to use now and to bN unprotected urea and can
CAN relases more nitrous oxide so urea is better apparently, in protected form then to reduce ammonia emissions.
Then you see lads growing thousands of acre in Oz and using away regular urea, temps are a bit higher there...
Advice used to be to use 12% more urea due to losses I think I'd comparing to CAN
Urea is cheaper per unit and there is less nitros oxide lost which in turn mean nitrogen for the plant than can,..can't see why anyone would use CAN to grow grass anymore tbh
According to our researchers it is
18-6-12 is very efficient as well the P&K improves it's efficiency. Not only dose CAN release Nitrous Oxide its also uses more energy to make I think about twice per unit of N but cannot be sure.
I use ures until May but watch the weather again from August on depending on weather. If your knees get we when you kneel down to say a prayer outside in the field at dawn the weather is suitably for ordinary urea. I use PU for second cut and for mid summer.
18-6-12 during the summer as well late April to end of June.
Fertlizer bought by tonnage 40% ordinary urea, 40% 18-6-12 and 20% PU.
Good PH's matter as well and nearly everything has sulphur in it now
Teagasc?
When the transport and aviation industry get to zero Nox emissions, it’ll be plenty time for farmers to be getting concerned about it.
Any Irish reaction to the French and German farmers demands for dropping area aid?
Was it @Say my name explained on here about the coating on protected urea being some form of plastic?
And this brings another foreign substance into the soil?
There's a corn starch inhibitor (maize derived) on the market now in Ireland. If I go to use PU it'll be that one.
The teagasc research showed that urea was as effective as protected for yield. Slightly higher CP in protected, and higher ammonia emissions from unprotected
What's the story with buying in dairy stock. What's the time frame that they have to be TB tested. If not tested I've 30 days to test overwise I'm fully locked up.

Dropping subsidies ?yesss bring it on
Ya the whole of Ireland should receive disadvantage payments.
You’d see proper protesting for once if that was put forward here…
We would for definite but Subsidies would be gone in the morning if I had any say in it ..... the farmers would protest firstly and then the general population would riot like something you never even dreamed of
A lot of dairy farmers would have no problem with them going as they get so little
Doubt if that memo was circulated in Ireland. There’s been a media blackout here until yesterday and is very hard to find any on line sources which are not opinion pieces or written by conspiracy theorists
Yea, I’d like to know what really happened to the farmer who went on a solo run into Paris on his tractor.
Well it mightn’t be that nice from where you’re standing. There’s a helluva push behind this proposal. Farmers are now certain that you can’t stay competitive with all the enviro regs, whilst shyte that’s produced without any regs whatsoever are allowed free access to the EU.
Solution, drop SFP completely but make ALL imports comply with EU regs. I’m 100% behind it and so are everyone I know. Here’s hoping.

It takes a certain type of scum..
Thing is those same langers would lose their sh1t if you threw a fagbutt out the car window.
yet they have the highest incomes
Sfp is significant here because we always had a beef operation so would be a big hit here, but I know plenty big dairy operations getting pittance compared to a lot of part time operations.
Are they farmers
The system here is completely unacceptable and is slanted in ever increasing amounts of high nature low productivity low dependantancy (income wise)and supposedly higher biodiversity. Farmers I've a neighbour sound lad good neighbours. he's a state job and his 30 acres. Gets the same in payments as myself. his two sons are after giving silly Money each to rent two place roughly 35 acres each cos they qualify as young farmers. I couldn't justify paying what they are paying they don't rely on farming or anything associated with farming but there "farmers " ...its a joke at this stage.
Ayee they do but they have by far and away the biggest work load and biggest benefits yto the local community. 4 in ever5 euro is turned again and spent back into rather community by dairy farmers..... you can't say the same for others
Neigbor bounding us has about 50 acres half good half very mixed, gone organic very limited numbers of stock and in every other scheme he’s eligible for. Local guy who lost rented ground offered him 275 an acre to rent it before Christmas, neigbor told him he was getting more than that in payments and schemes. This guy has a great job in the tech sector he’s really winning and don’t blame him for working the system.
