SPREADING SLURRY before NVZ RULES KICK IN

- In this video we are spreading slurry on some of our grazing ground to get our pit empty before the spreading ban comes in on the 15th of October, which is a new rule for us here in wales!
We are using the umbilical pipes and pumps this time to spread the slurry as it’s the best and most efficient way to do it for this time of year.
In this video you will see all about how it works, hope you enjoy!
Love it your dad is brilliant he explains things so even people like me can understand definitely my favourite farming channel happy sisters with an amazing family how could you possibly go wrong 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👌
i would have thought there's a possitive argument for putting slurry on little and often where as having a long period of time where you can't spread slurry means more slurry being put on fields in a shorter space of time in the summer........who's to say your not going to get heavy rain in the summer. very interesting video.......well explained
A extremely well explained video on the various aspects of spreading slurry, interesting to see the process from start to finish
Brilliant way to move slurry, so much better than tankers 👍
Well done girls and dad. Another enlightening video. A farmer friend of mine in North Lincolnshire, uses the umbilical pipes system to spread pig manure on his fields. The local villages all know when he’s spreading it. 🙈👍
Ha Sisters ,,always glad to see videos, and how you work on the other side of the pond,,stay safe ❤❤❤❤
Your video always amazing and beautiful your two sisters always working hard have a blessing day
This is soo much more interesting than using tankers, and better for the entrances to your fields
Great video well explained. In Northern Ireland we have had NVZs for about 15 years, also your Slurry lagoon would be illegal over here. All slurry tanks have to made of cast concrete or have a rubber liner.
Awesome, very interesting video from the man in wellies 👍
great video thanks for filming it way better thank tanking it fuel wise and time wise but i guess aswell the tanker starts of on the field weighing loads when full which could cause sinking and compaction where the pipe spreads that weight out so not wreaking the field i might be wrong was just my guess but thankyou and look forward to next video
The thinking behind the NVZ rules are admirable. However, as outlined in a BBC Wales article this week, if it is too wet to spread slurry, then the slurry will just end up in the waterways. I think that there needs to be some flexibility where the dates can fluctuate according to weather conditions to ensure that the greater amount of slurry remains on the land (which is preferable of course) and to simultaneously protect the waterways. Having fixed dates just seems to defeat the objective as farmers will rush to spread the slurry, regardless of conditions.
Afternoon sister's, dad in Wellies has done you proud again in this video, certainly covered a lot of the process/procedures
A couple of questions, I know, I'm full of questions lol, you spoke about the pump tractor being in a "dangerous" position, unavoidable, has to be close to the edge to operate, have you addressed this risk in the construction of your new slurry pit, potentially a jetty area with a sump below
I'm guessing, as the slurry level drops the whisk tractor has to be moved further down the slope
The other question I had, I think has been answered by the cleaning process, but it was going to be, is it possible to run the pipe underground to the fields, a little like fire hydrants, with taps in each field, reducing the need to cross roads etc, but hearing the potential issues with blockages, it would be impractical
A great update, thank you again for taking the time to produce these for us
Hope mum's OK
Keep safe
Geoff
We re using that system over here in Co cork with years but now we use dribble bars not splash plates
Very good filming by dad in wellies 🚜💩🚜💩
I'm thinking some theme music might be in order for this video. Something like Disney's "The Circle of Life".
Who would have thought spraying cow poo on fields would be so interesting 😂
Our slurry had to finished spreading by 30 th sept until 15 th January.
Should u not be using the dribble bar
good liquid manure spreading as fertilizer but Canadian farmer pump the liquid manure in large capacity tanker & then spread it without using pipe 👍🇵🇰
