Slurry equipment in two hemispheres. The guest speaker on a recent Zoom meeting of the NI Branch of IAgrE was Richard Fitzpatrick, from Slurryquip, who has now been involved with the manufacture and supply of slurry spreading equipment for 27 years. The business is based on his family farm at Mountpanther, Clough on the East coast of Co. Down. On leaving Loughry College in 1985 he became involved with running the farm following the death of his father Seamus. He also went out to New South Wales, Australia for some seasonal work experience on a broadacre cotton farm. Once home, he began selling farm machinery as a sideline. By 1993, he commenced the design and manufacture of drag hose umbilical slurry systems with the SlurryKat brand name.
