BRAND NEW SLURRY STORE

[@mozamariner4443]

Between the government/supermarkets/ Europe, I really don’t know how farmers can survive, buy British and keep sisters in wellies smiling. ❤

[@Ralph94967]

done a cracking job of the new slurry pit bet your all kinda happy with ground with a high clay content

[@philipcounsell4709]

Brilliant Job Richard , and your man Gareth didn't hang around at getting it done . 👍👍

[@sandyfraser8216]

Well planned out, good machine man, the making of a very tidy job. Again very good and informative video.

[@richard3008]

great video big thankyou to your dad for talking it though with us was really really big pit i think it should do you well till you can use it and yeah the government needs to keep well away from farming or at least help you farmers out we all need food made and grown in this country keep up the good work

[@heather8303]

Thanks for the video Richard. Excellent vid. Such a big job!

[@jmcmillan1343]

Fab u lous vid love the day by day and what a great job love the way you planned everything from mixing platform to the grass seed 😅 Can't wait to see it all fenced and ready to poop and roll 😅

[@markphilpott9531]

Massive job guys best of luck with it 👍

[@philiptyndall4968]

You’re doing well to have got away for so long without a winter closed period . In Southern Ireland we’ve had to have 16 week slurry storage since 2008. No earth banked lagoons allowed

[@firefire9994]

Great Video . Will be great to see it working and how you maintain and use it .👍

[@jasondavies4887]

It is worrying for a lot of farmers because the supermarkets are paying the farmers so little they can't afford to make such big investment, a lot of farmers are selling up because they can't afford the regulations the government are bringing in.

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

Well done Richard, fantastic video diary of construction Certainly looks to be a deep pit, should hold plenty of slurry Digger driver has done a 1st class job for you I take it, the slurry will need double handling, tanking from farm to pit, from pit to field, but unavoidable with distance Be careful Dawn wild swimming in quarries lol Take care all

[@mikeysky8917]

In Northern Ireland, that lagoon must have a liner installed and you will soon have to cover it to stop ammonia escaping. Surprised at the difference in regulations between different parts of the UK.

[@raymondrobinson4047]

For such a small uk nation,there is a massive variation in slurry rules.....Northern Ireland being the tightest rules of all

[@JohnMcKay-p1f]

Which proves the Northern Ireland farmers are not on a level playing field compared with the rest of GB. Now the planners in NI won’t even pass slurry tanks, which again is disadvantaged NI farming .

[@mikeysky8917]

@@JohnMcKay-p1f Exactly. Quite funny how many farmers in England are now moving into slatted tanks for their new builds.

[@geraldbeard856]

slurry is becoming a big problem on many larger scale dairy farms......a lot of time / money /machinery involved. i got a neighbour who built a slurry store next to a river back in the late 70's, needless to say they have now got the environment agency on there back so they talked of building a new earth bank store up on top the hill and then tankering it or pumping it up there from there farm which is beside the river but the Dartmoor National Park refused there planning aplication but the national park would allow them to build a new store on the existing site which is next to the river........but the environment agency won't allow that because it's less than 12 metres from the river........not much joined up thinking going on there between the national park and the environment agency

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

Afternoon sister n dad in boots lol

[@ivorcallaghan4060]

Track going past the store next to the hedge seems to be very close to the edge of the

[@philipwhite5933]

Saw a similar lagoon in a corner of a field in Cumbria the other day, presume it must be filled with tankers because there where no buildings close by

[@harryjones8426]

How many gallons

[@Youssef-v5p]

🎉🎉🎉

[@EdwardBrady-ls6up]

Hi do u put a liner on the tank

[@PVAglue-fi4kc]

All this storage just means more slurry going out in a shorter time frame,especially with umbilical spreading. It hasn't work for Ireland, so their solutions is to just build more tanks, and lengthen by weeks the time you're not allowed spread regardless of weather conditions.

[@ziauddin7948]

nice soil digging # but will U store liquid manure or something other ??? # awesome British farmer girls & dad #❤️🇵🇰

[@jeffreyshier9021]

How often do you think you will have to empty that pit?

[@aidanwhite2836]

Put a fence around the slurry store if health and safety saw this u would be close down a grey metal fence around it

[@loxd7714]

how much gallons is your slurry pit gonna hold

[@LizJones-n5i]

Why do you let the ragwort grow on your land?

[@jamesoconnor677]

That is some hole in the ground 😮

[@davidfitwe]

why is the video cropped or not fully sized?

[@farmernige]

What are your rules regarding roofing of slurry stores? They are hinting that in England 2027 they need to be roofed

[@johncoughlan5512]

Would ye not bring in the digger driver for dinner ? We Irish always feed driver s.

[@multipower617]

I very much doubt he would take the time to go in the house and sit down to eat, he is very busy with the diggers, he is very good at his job

[@johndaniell887]

why is the video been cropped

[@-_-seven-_-]

Wow. Massive. That’s A LOT of shit 😂

[@astonmcleod5344]

Over here there are some excavator drivers on union day rate, painful to watch I call them chicken scratchers. I have had excavators on my property and I always ensure the driver will operate efficiently. Credit to the ones I have had, they have been terrific.

[@bobcrawford2105]

Surprised to see so much ragwort around fence were cows are grazing
