Muck and Slurry management

Farming Connect are holding an event on Bryncelynog, Cwm Prysor, Trawsfynnydd on January 26 where Huw Powell from the Grassland Development Centre will be discussing practical and economic aspects involved in muck and slurry storage. In addition the fertiliser value of muck and slurry and the importance of soil testing and having an integrated nutrient management plan will also be discussed.

The event will look at ways to manage muck and slurry storage and spreading more efficiently e.g. stopping water going into slurry pits; using umbilical spreading systems, with the aim of reducing labour, fertiliser bills and the environmental impact.

Gwyn Jones from the Environment Agency will be available to answer any questions on environmental issues and the Welsh Assembly Governments Farm Liaison Service will also give an update on the TB eradication Policy and how it will affect farmers in North Wales.
