Soil Protection Review (SPR)
We assist farmers in Yorkshire, the East Midlands and East Anglia on all aspects regarding the Soil Protection Review
• Identifying soil issues
• Deciding on measures to manage and protect soils
• Reviewing success.

Complying with Agricultural Waste Regulations
Most farmers are aware that they had until 15 May 2007 to comply with the new Agricultural Waste Regulations and to register for any waste exemptions. These are free and can be attained by completing an exemption pack. As well as providing advice, we are helping direct clients to specialised contractors.

Nitrate Vulnerable Zones
NVZ’s form part of the Cross Compliance inspection process and all farmers must now keep accurate records of the nutrients applied to their crops. As well as providing advice on RB209 and correct application of manures, our teams are on hand to advise clients on the regulations regarding the storage and spreading of organic and inorganic fertilisers.
