EPISODE 14 BPS RETIREMENT SCHEME, SOIL HEALTH, SLURRY BAGS ... AND MORE

In today’s episode: With new Farming Rules for Water having a major impact on slurry usage, we spread the word about the latest solutions required to store it, cover it, stir it, separate it, pump it or spread it. The NFU’s Sam Bradley is with John Tydeman, of slurry handling equipment manufacturer Tramspread We welcome back two past contributors - Richard Wordsworth, Senior BPS Advisor with the NFU, who shines the spotlight on the BPS Retirement Lump Sum Scheme, and Richard Paul from ACT, with some wise words about maximising soil health. The deadline is fast approaching for grant applications under the Farming Investment Fund. WBW’s Molly Dakin guides farmers through the application process. Plus, Craven Farm Vets are back with sound advice on liver fluke and lugworm, while we also introduce the new Mart Chaplain, who recently met his flock for the first time up at the mart. And, in the latest Trade Talk, Ted Ogden looks at both recent and upcoming trade. LINKS: https://www.ccmauctions.comhttps://www.nfuonline.comhttps://www.actwessex.co.ukhttps://www.transpread.comhttps://www.wbwsurveyors.co.ukhttp://cravenfarmvets.co.ukhttps://www.holytrinityskipton.org.uk  The Farming Country Podcast. Episode presented by: Ted OgdenEdited by: Vernon HarwoodProduced by: CCM Auctions Contributors: Richard Wordsworth, Richard Paul, John Tydeman, Molly Dakin, Andy Barrett, Rev James Theodosius Enquires to Ted at thefarmingcountrypodcast@gmail.com STREAM ALL EPISODES NOW ON SELECTED SERVICES: ·         SPOTIFY - https://open.spotify.com/show/5aBdEBbqRUbq8JmjnbXTDs·         APPLE - https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1552436394·         GOOGLE - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNjE2NzczLnJzcw==·         YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCskMRFEnJ0mXyaiDHUpgYzw
