Does this not impact the calculation of the 170 kg of nitrogen per hectare per year, the 220 kg of nitrogen per hectare per year or the 250 kg of nitrogen per hectare per year? Those goalposts have not changed, but that calculation was being done off 5 kg per cubic metre of slurry and now it is being said there is only 2.4 kg per cubic metre of slurry. In my ignorance, I think this must have an impact on how all our bands are calculated, if there is this big a change?
