SlurryKat will unveil a brand new 24m vertical folding dribble bar at Lamma 2025, claiming to be 55% lighter than competitor models leaving it compatible with smaller tractors.
Whether grazing so late in the year was the right decision, I am not sure.
With the slurry spreading season just around the corner, Gary Abbott looks at what is involved when it comes to refurbishing a tired vacuum pump.
Farms stocked between 100kg N/ha and 129kg N/ha must now apply slurry using LESS methods, farms now stocked between130kg/ha and 150kg/ha organic nitrogen are now ineligible to avail of LESS grant aid.
Many farmers with smaller tractors, heavier soils or hilly farms simply cannot operate a trailing shoe because of its weight and the ground conditions, ICSA president Seán McNamara has said.
The open season for slurry spreading is approaching, with dates for the different zones in the coming days and weeks.
Farmers with a grassland stocking rate of between 100kg/ha and 129kg/ha organic nitrogen are obliged to spread slurry using low emissions spreading equipment once the season opens in 2025.
As we move into 2025, fewer farmers will be able to avail of grant aid for LESS equipment due to ongoing changes.
The rules apply to all farmers and include changes to slurry spreading regulations, chemical fertiliser restrictions and lower crude protein levels in concentrates fed during the grazing season.
