Rules changed to allow silage to be stored in fields

摘要

SILAGE can be stored in Ag-bags and heaps in fields, as long as minimum criteria are met, writes JANE LEWIS. The silage must not be ensiled within 10m of a water course, or 50m from any protected water source; field heaps must be made on undisturbed ground - no excavation can have taken place; and all sites must be registered with the Environment Agency (EA) at least 14 days before use.
