What a load of c***

There are 2 6 million dairy cows in the UK and each produces up to 53 litres of manure a day – 50 billion litres a year in total, enough to fill Wembley stadium more than 12 times over Perhaps it’s not surprising, then, that the dairy industry is the worst environmental offender in Britain and is linked to half of all farm pollution incidents In 2021, livestock farms polluted rivers 300 times, causing huge environmental damage and mass fish deaths But the Government is on the case – they prosecuted six of them! Just six!

To check how well slurry is stored, in 2021 the Environment Agency carried out 721 inspections on 693 farms and more than half were found to be breaking the regulations. (BBC Rural Affairs).
