Fresh calvers. Mon 23rd Cillin Hill mart. https://t.co/LBTB3wNQiE

@White_Chapel0 @TrevorFarrell12 @JerryMoloney1 Adjusting application rates to match growth would be a better fit surely? So many variables

[Michael Nolan @_Michael_Nolan]

@White_Chapel0 @TrevorFarrell12 @JerryMoloney1 Or just move away from spreading at incorrect times, regardless of dates. Spread when weather conditions and growth are going to take up the nutrients, the graph shows when to start and stop with the growth curve. Oct and jan seems v silly conpared to growth curve

[Michael Nolan @_Michael_Nolan]

@White_Chapel0 @TrevorFarrell12 @JerryMoloney1 I agree with the chemical bit.But as the graph shows, more growth in oct than Jan. I see where you're coming from but not ok to spread in oct and ok in jan makes very little sense in my opinion, given the growth graph above

[Michael Nolan @_Michael_Nolan]

@White_Chapel0 @TrevorFarrell12 @JerryMoloney1 Think it would work well, heavy rain due, no spreading allowed, regardless of date, good conditions/growth in oct, spreading permitted etc. What's your view?

[Michael Nolan @_Michael_Nolan]

@White_Chapel0 @TrevorFarrell12 @JerryMoloney1 I wouldn't be putting bag n on in dec and Jan, no. But in Oct I'd have no problem with slurry if it were allowed, conditions seem to be better for a small bit in October rather than Jan, obviously temps and rainfall differ every year. I'd still prefer a blight like warning

[Michael Nolan @_Michael_Nolan]

@White_Chapel0 @TrevorFarrell12 @JerryMoloney1 Thats a good graph, but it does show more growth in oct and nov than there is in dec and Jan. I'd be in favour of a similar system to the blight warning we hear so often on the farming weather. Or possibly move that closed period a month further on, start of Nov to 13 feb

@CiaranOShea11 @keenan17 The bit that pissed off most farmers was there was no communication about this before they had arrived on the farm

[Michael Nolan @_Michael_Nolan]

@keenan17 @CiaranOShea11 You are obligated to tell a contractor before he comes if you are locked up jack. He is required to disinfect after spreading in a restricted herd also. Holding a farm walk for hundreds of farmers to attend while restricted is very different

[Michael Nolan @_Michael_Nolan]

@davidm3329 @CiaranOShea11 @SeanMoy98947674 And how did they justify it? Thats a joke, gather everyone around at the start to tell them

[Michael Nolan @_Michael_Nolan]

@CiaranOShea11 That is ridiculous to be opening a restricted farm up to people from every corner of the country. Very Irresponsible
