What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Martin Heydon announced that a one-week extension has been granted to the slurry spreading period under the Good Agricultural Practice for the Protection of Waters Regulations. The extension was made possible due to exceptional weather conditions, including drought during the summer and a subsequent surge in grass growth. The extension is available for those who register with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in advance of spreading.
