Usually around £250/T been quoted almost £1k/T this year!! Cheaper to buy silage in 1 Quote Link to post

Sausagedog 7,381 Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Think the issue with muck is due to slurry and run off into water courses. Most farms are slurry based over traditional muck. Trad muck is good. Slurry not so good. Some inject it under the turf which is better. Quote Link to post
