Managing slurry – benefit or burden? Devon

Want to make the best use of slurry, comply with regulations and what advice, support and grants are available?

Join us for this meeting with Upstream Thinking and Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) to understand how collecting and storing slurry in the winter months can be worth £4.00/cubic metre in NPK alone and deliver significant savings on bought in fertilisers. Find out about:

• How to calculate volumes produced and storage capacity required using AHDB’s Slurry Wizard
• About realising the value of slurry to your business
• Timings, methods and rates of application for silage and grazing land (within & outside an NVZ)
• What could new ammonia emissions mean for farmers?
• Advice, projects and possible funding in your area from UST and CSF
