Is it just me, or do farmers intentionally spread their shyte on a bank holiday weekend?

Is it to put off the townies from having walks on their land?

Well, it's normal for us in my neck of the woods to be covered with the farmers' shyte, unfortunately. They're always on the B, C and D roads here, doing their $hitty business.

PS: By 'us', I mean our cars, not literally our bodies.

Also, we're used to be stuck behind some other dumper or a stupid tractor. Makes you late to wherever you set out for. Some do let us pass by pulling into some gap on the road side, but some don't give a shyte at the same time as giving a shyte.

Getting close to the closed season for those farms in Nitrate vulnerable zones. Means they cannot spread muck in the closed season and have to have sufficient storage to hold it until the end of the closed season usually end of September to 1st march. Last thing you want is a glut of **** sat in the yard or lagoon which potentially could have a serious environmental impact should it get out of hand and end up in the water course.

Plus you want to be getting the slurry and manure on the land whilst minimising the damage to the ground. so when its not overly wet and boggy.
