Description of the measure

Building further covered slurry tanks to increase the storage capacity

Comments on sustainability

Increasing heavy rainfalls and drought are expected in the near future, so the optimal time for spreading liquid manure can be reduced. Liquid manure should only be spread on soil with a good carrying capacity to avoid soil compaction. The investment for further slurry tanks is high and needs some advice, but the advantage is a higher flexibility in spreading. This avoids liquid manure being spread in suboptimal conditions.
