Managing slurry – benefit or burden? Barnstaple

Are you making the most of by-products such as muck, slurry and dirty water on your farm? Muck alone is worth £11/tonne and a cubic metre of slurry has a value of £4.00 in NPK.

• How best to store and use muck and slurry to release their true value
• Using AHDB’s Slurry Wizard to calculate volumes produced and storage capacity
• Compliance with regulations and NVZ record keeping
• Techniques for cost-effective applications within a nutrient management plan
• Update on Upstream Thinking Project, current support, advice and grants available.
