Boreholes, Springs and Rainwater Tanks to Tackle Rising Water Costs

The farm is now pumping natural water from a number of springs to supply two farms that were previously on a mains water supply. In the past the farm had dug a borehole and although they have considered reinstating it, high iron and metal contamination means that it was not feasible.

Many farms are equipped with large roof spaces and farmers not making the most of rainwater run-off from these large spaces are missing out on totally free water. And that''s where rainwater harvesting techniques really come into play. Enduramaxx helps farmers to make the most of rainwater run-off, channeling it into dedicated rainwater tanks, vertical storage tanks and horizontal tanks which store water in optimum conditions.

EU OR NOT – WILL FARMERS FACE SIMILAR REGULATIONS REGARDLESS?

A number or news items this week relate to organic farming. The first from the Eastern Daily Press examines the red tape surrounding green farming and how bureaucracy can be perceived as hindering and restricting the number of farmers entering this area of agriculture. The second item, featured in The Guardian, highlights how non-organic farmers can do a lot to foster plants, butterflies and bugs without giving up on pesticides. Providing pesticide storage tanks, as well as all other vertical and horizontal tanks to the farming industry, this item was of particular interest to Enduramaxx.

It highlights new research by the University of Reading recently published in the Journal of Applied Ecology which looked at 80 non-organic farms that had signed up to the Conservation Grade Scheme. The 80 farms were required to turn 10 per cent of their land over to habitat targeted at supporting local ecology and in return, these farms received the right to use a ‘F...

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Produced by the UK’s Arable Sector Significantly Lower Than Previously Thought!

Nitrous oxide is an important greenhouse gas, contributing more than 40% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions. Previously, production levels of nitrous oxide from soil were calculated at 1% a unit of nitrogen (N) applied. However, Farmers Weekly report that the five-year average Minimising Nitrous Oxide (MIN-NO) research study estimate for UK arable land is 0.46% of N applied, taking into account UK soil and climatic conditions. Following intensive three-year field-based experiments across arable areas in England and Scotland and using industry data from commercial farms, researchers used models to estimate a national picture of emissions due to major UK arable crops and their products.

The MIN-NO research was conducted through a combination of 23 government, academic, farming and commercial partnerships and found emissions due to nitrogen fertiliser use in UK arable land to be less than half the level previously estimated using IPCC 2006 emission factors – which is the traditional measure. The report also found that the greenhouse gas intensity a to...
