Water Protection Days with Welsh Water and NSTS
04 April 2024
In collaboration with Welsh Water and the National Sprayer Testing Scheme, the VI are organising a series of Water Protection days across Wales
Spring is a pivotal time for farmers to fine tune their pesticide and fertiliser use to maximise crop yield and nutrient efficiency.
Welsh Water want to work with farming communities in our drinking water catchments to explore how supporting good farming practices can benefit both farm efficiency and water quality.
In partnership with the NSTS and VI we are delivering a series of workshops on nutrient and pesticide essentials to help farmers get the most of their applications.
From the importance of application planning to machinery maintenance, set up and testing, this will be a hugely worthwhile workshop for all farmers and contractors to attend.
There are two water protection days organised by Welsh Water in association with NSTS and the VI:
Thursday 6th June, Ludlow/Borders (venue to be confirmed)
Friday 7th June, Upper Pendre Farm, Llangorse, Powys, LD3 7TT
Two other days, one on Anglesey and one in Camarthenshire in the autumn.
