Maximising farm profits
"Where there's muck there's brass" - that is the old saying and today it is more true than ever. With ammonium nitrate at around £155 per tonne the nutrient value of manures needs to be fully utilised to maximise farm profits.
Depending on the time of year that it is applied and the application method used, the nutrients available to crops from the same batch of manure or slurry varies widely.
This topic will be covered in detail on Thursday at Leintwardine Village Hall and Earl of Plymouth Estates at a FWAG event with Shropshire adviser Becky Floate. There will be expert advice from Gillian Preece, The Dairy Group manure specialist and Sharon Chisholm of the Environment Agency.
Places are free to farmers and landowners but must be booked in advance. Call 01939 262150.
