If you are considering applying for Defra’s Slurry Infrastructure Grant, or if you just want some general advice on slurry management options, your local CSF adviser can attend your farm as part of a free confidential advice visit.
The visit will help you consider your options and can help you make more confident decisions about potential changes.
Recently CSF appeared on the AHDB’s webinar all about slurry storage (see video below), where they discussed the latest legislation and heard from farmers who had modified their slurry stores.
CSF also host webinars, farm walks and other local events across a range of topics, all of which are available for farmers to access alongside the free one-to-one advice.
With a future-proofed plan for slurry management, you can enjoy improved water and air quality on your farm, soil fed by organic nutrients, and a reduction in greenhouse gases – as well as securing your farm business for years to come.
Get in touch with your local CSF Adviser for tailored advice on slurry management.
