Muck Northwest
Muck Northwest is an annual event held at Reaseheath College, which is co-sponsored by the Environment Agency and organised by HarveyHughes. The event invites Farmers and Contractors to get to grips with new Nitrate Vulnerable Zone regulations as well as seeing working demonstrations of farming best practices for utilising manure.
Muck Northwest covers over 25 acres of grass and arable ground with live machinery demonstrations, static trade stands and discussion forums to help farmers comply with new NVZ legislation while making the most of their manure.
Slurry storage, handling and incorporation equipment, including self propelled spreaders, shallow injectors, arable injectors and umbilical equipment, can be seen in action and growers will be able to see a crop of winter wheat being top dressed with slurry.
Discussion forums highlight the main issues and a free slurry analysis service will be available so farmers can bring along their own slurry samples for testing on the day.
A free event for all farmers, growers and contractors, Muck North West will feature:
- Live machinery demonstrations including manure spreaders, slurry incorporation, injectors, umbilical systems, trailing shoe applications to growing wheat
- Slurry separators, pumps, presses and slurry storage including temporary and mobile storage solutions
- Alternative slurry and manure management systems including reedbeds and bio digesters
- Discussion forums covering the value of slurry, storage requirements, closed periods, applications rates, changing legislation, practical solutions
- Free slurry nutrient analysis - bring along your own manure sample
