ECONOMICS/NUTRIENTS OF SEWAGE CAKE /SLUDGE AND COMPOST?

I see some farms in our area have piles of sewage or compost in piled fields.
Although not farming now, I am interested to know which nutrients the sewage
cake sludge has in it ,how many tonnes to the ha is normally applied and how
much a tonne do you have to pay for it,I am sure it is not free!!? Do any of you
that have the sewerage cake/sludge piled in your fields , have any of it
independently tested to check that you are getting what they say it is, I am a
sceptical old so and so .
I assume the compost made up from "Green bin waste mixed with wood chip etc",is
applied mainly to help build up the organic matter of your soil rather than for
the nutrient value,is it very costly and how many tonnes a ha need to be spread
to have an effect.
I ask all the above as with profit margins low at best,non existent at worse , I
would imagine one needs to be getting value for money from the above as they are
another expense, and asking "Are they really improving my bottom line?".
I appreciate many of you are contract farming and your client pays for the
inputs and so the payment cheque for the above would come out of their bank
account. If I were a tenant farmer , like I was, on a high rent,I really would
be looking VERY hard at how effective the above are at increasing my bottom
line,if at all.

I like compost BUT the stuff we recieve is full of rubbish so TBH eventually we
will have to stop or the land will become poisoned.

When you see knives, forks, scissors, lorry parts, batteries, metal garden
furniture, foil, beer cans etc you really begin to question what you are doing.

MX7 are you north of Gloucester? It depends a little on the source of the
compost as to what it contains. Some for example contains food waste as well as
green waste.

As for sludge, yes you pay also. STW try and "reclaim" some of their cost from
it as they were "told" by the regulator apparently. Sludge contains 3 yrs worth
of P and is good value at that. STW also have their own farms that they apply it
to at silly rates, but the produce grown there cannot ever enter the food chain.
I've never visited one but would be quite interested to see how well it is
"farmed".

I've built my indices up to 4's and 5's the last few years, and will be taking a
holiday from buying in any more product for a year or so, both to save money and
not go overboard and cause trouble with excess nutrient in the soil. I can see
it will get harder and harder for firms to get payment for compost, chicken
muck, sludge etc etc. going forward - as you say people don't have the money for
it. Supply and demand.

I live between Cirencester and Gloucester,(Winstone) ,an estate farmed by
Velcourt, is having sewage cake delivered at 4.30 am onwards !!!

I have had some for quite a few years, but the last time when they delivered
300t of the stuff onto next door's spring barley I thought enough was enough
(fortunately he was very good about it) but I will add that we had some
"overwinter" as it came in too wet to spread, so it just sat there and was
spread almost a year after being piled up, it was excellent, I still see the
benefits of this "overyear'd" sludge some 3 years later. They wavered payment
and spread it for free. I am sure it sitting there for a year made it much
better.
I would have some every year if I could afford it, we always try and put it on
before the OSR.
Compost I looked into but haulage knackered that even at £1/t.

Sewage works run 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. Around here Wessex Water works
have 3 days' storage on site, that's all.

I'm Wessex Water's biggest single consumer of their finest digestate cake.
5500t/year here though Velcourt units use more spread over several client
accounts. £4.75/t delivered and spread for a nitrogen, phosphate and magnesium
value of £9.80/t. The main nutrient is phosphate. 20 t/ha gives 27 kg/ha
available N to the next crop but 3 crops' worth of P. The price needs to be
lower as the organic matter content is only 20% of fresh weight and there is a
hassle value of compaction around the heaps & headlands plus inevitable loss of
some topsoil when loading into spreaders and the wait for the spreader gang to
arrive. The water boards like high pH soils as they are light enough for year
round access to tip plus the pH keeps the heavy metals locked away. I haven't
bought much P fertiliser for a long time except where variable rate top ups are
needed in hot spots or SPZ1s exist around boreholes.

Green compost is much more marginal for fertiliser value vs cost as haulage
kills it. The plastic contamination is the big problem here and why I've stopped
using it for now that I'm direct drilling. Compost is great stuff for soil
biology, even big 80mm bits of wood or pine cones which will break down over
years and years. It is higher in K than sewage so is a great balancing product.
30 t/ha contains a couple of crops' worth of K. A 19m3 14 tonne grain trailer
will hold around 7 tonnes of compost though silage sides will get the full
weight on. Fertiliser value varies a lot. What I see around here has differed
from £8/t for PAS110 food+green waste to £3.50/t for poor quality pre screened
80mm down green waste compost. If you sell the straw IMO you should put some of
the income in compost if you want to reinvest in your soil.

I tend to look at an analysis of the product, determine it's NPKMg value vs
bagged fertiliser (crop available nutrients only not total) then treat the
organic matter and not inconsiderable trace element content as compensation for
the hassle.

Budget £2 - 2.50/t to spread an in field heap of any commodity, though if you do
it with your own well depreciated spreaders it will be less than that. I buy in
FYM at £2.50/t fresh weight delivered and then spread it using contractors as I
can't justify buying my own kit. The fertiliser value is around £5/t (+/- £2).
Sewage has to be spread by the contractor to ensure "consistency"

Andrew, I think you have already achieved 'excess nutrient'.
Are you planning to buy the necessary potash, copper and zinc with the money you
have saved from your cheap phosphate?

The high pH also nicely hides the excess of Phosphate too, so they (the water
boards) can apply more! Everyone's a winner, except maybe the farmer.

Interesting you say that as I've been applying outdoor chicken muck to some
fields for about 3 years in decent doses where the soil was pretty tired. Its
done a great job in improving it but now its time to stop for a few years as the
PH indices are creeping towards 7 and the P into 4.

Previous experience has shown little to no benefit from copper and zinc products
so imo it doesn't pay to apply them. P and K are both at acceptable, balanced
levels and provide sufficient available nutrient for the plant without causing a
problem.

The main benefits are from OM and biology.

What excess? 20 t/ha given 230 kg/ha total P not available P. The pre delivery
analysis legally has to show this. That's just under offtake by crops of wheat,
spring barley and oilseed rape over 3 years. Application is every 3 years.

Are you suggesting there might be a bias because they have a vested interest in
shifting product....?

Can i ask a couple of questions first how much weight would a 12 tonne grain
trailer hold of chicken muck and what would the NPK and limeing value of chicken
muck be?

Wet fresh stuff just a couple of days old you would get around 12 tons on dry
chicken muck about 8 tons i recon .

Liming value would vary. I've no specific figures but I'm told broiler muck has
very little lime in it but layers muck has a fair dollop because their feed has
lime included to help with egg shell hardness.

That's just anecdotal stuff I've heard over the years.

Survey link:
https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/promaraf-2021/the-uk-farm-assurance-review

The deadline is Saturday 31 August 2024.

The next steps in a comprehensive independent evaluation of the UK’s farm
assurance schemes have been announced by the Commissioners of the UK Farm
Assurance Review. The project, jointly set up by the National Farmers' Union
(NFU) and AHDB, along with NFU Cymru, the Ulster Farmers' Union (UFU) and NFU
Scotland (NFUS), will focus on repurposing UK farm assurance for a post-Brexit
world.

The independent review of the UK Farm Assurance System is planned to report at
the end of this year. The Commissioners leading this review have now issued an
online survey that can be completed by any farmer in the UK, from any sector
that will help provide...
