Nitrogen and phosphorus statements online now

Farmers are also being reminded of the deadline to declare movements of organic manure off their holdings this year of December 31. 

These statements help farmers in planning for the remainder of the year, to ensure compliance with the limits set in the nitrates regulations.

Cattle-only nitrogen and phosphorus statements are now available to view online for the period covering January 1 to September 30 this year.

The statements help farmers plan for the remainder of the year, to ensure compliance with the limits set in the Nitrates Regulations, thus avoiding penalties for breaching the limits of 170kg of organic nitrogen per hectare or the limit of 250kg of organic nitrogen per hectare for those who hold an approved Nitrates Derogation.
