If someone was dumping manure into a water course, who ought to know about it? The EA?

Yes, most definitely the EA.

yes

a bit of run off might happen,accidents are treated on a case by case basis but can be punished fairly harshly but dumping is very bad and often treated as bad as a bad thing by the ea.

that said the damage that can be done and over, the fines imposed (if they can be)are later and often dont really match the harm done.

the ea will take an interest proportional to their resources,the proof, who did it (and have they got form) etc etc.

a small operation get the same fines as huge ones so proportionally it is the smaller polluter pays most (and is more likely to stop)

perhaps gong farming has a revival to enact ps a while back we saw small bags of bat shit in "gift from @@@@@@" type shop which was about �5 per 250 gm which works out at 20k a metric tonne . if my maths is correct even allowing for paying to have it dried or finding a drying floor i recon gong farming might have a future.

Anyone that considers selling their manure is simply selling their fertility down the road.

If I could get �300/t for it I'd only have to sell 40 tonnes to put up the much needed extra winter housing - I think that's a good trade.

If you rot it and bag it, it would retail for IRO �250-�300/ton eg

I've had a couple of customers ask me for truck loads of manure recently. I can get fresh for free and just charge delivery, but they don't want that, they want rotted manure - I can only get that in bags.
If you got storage and a front loader (or forks), you'd get �50 a ton (or dumpy bag) from landscape gardeners.
Or if you got a transit type tipper you'd get �100 a load if you deliver.

Retailing for that, and the farmer getting that are slightly different things.

Yes, hence my dumpy bag price, which is a more realistic business proposition.

Ah, but I live closer to Ty Gwyn. I'm waiting for him to reveal where he can get Three hundred a ton.
