Irelands Slurry Problem

[93-DY-SAM]

That's all this board needed, a thread dedicated to talking shite!

Worse than that. Talking shite about shite. A 6 axel slurry tanker!! PMSL

A photo of the 6 axel tanker would have been appreciated.

I'd imagine it was 3 axle 6 wheeler. Tho the more wheels the better the shape the fecking fields have been in!!

It prob was. I was just laughing at the thought of a 6 axel tanker - be some beast...lol. Regardless, no farmer or contractor is taking a twin or tri-axle tanker into any field unless on the rare occasion of extremely dry weather. These tankers are 99% of the time for ferrying slurry to an umbilical system or a smaller tanker in the field which can travel over wetter ground during spring or autumn months.

Give the farmers a break I say, its the way it is because we want cheap food and the farmers have to do whatever they can in terms of efficiency to protect their livelyhoods. Regenerative models would help matters but the market can't live with the price of it. Wouldn't have a bad word said about farmers, they are the backbone of the country.

exporting food out of the country so they can have baby feed in china while we grow less and less crops and veg every year
modern farming model is not sustainable

we had a neighbour spreading slurry in the dark early on st stephen's morning.

Not enough hours in the day for farmers when the weather is with them, the silage wagons would be going well into the early hours down here in the summer time.

The Lough is owned by Lord Shaftsbury... in this day and age. A modern day absentee landlord. We should campaign to bring it into public ownership.

He only owns the bed and the banks.

You lot should be more focused on your own slurry. Currently the main processing plant in Belfast is too small to handle all the sludge coming from treatment plants all over the north where it is incinerated.. It's in the process of being expanded but NI water has been seriously delayed with plans due to guess what "no Stormont". As we speak the excess sludge is going by boat to Scotland to be processed to the tune of millions every month at the expense of the taxpayers. You might say I'm talking sh..te ( literally )but it's a reminder of how dysfunctional out current administration is. Crazy stuff

He shouldn't own any of it. And outside of the bed and the banks what else is there? The water?

I agree it should be confiscated from him, his family make a fortune from it.
