Making the most of nutrients

The careful management of nutrients on dairy farms is a science in itself.
Nutrient management is integral to the farming system and careful management can have benefits to the farm cashflow as well as the environment.
Over recent years of drier weather, dairy farmers have become increasingly well practiced at recycling nutrients and water on the farm.
The dairy industry in Australia works to extend information about best practice management of on farm nutrients.  The online DairySAT guide assists with this.
There is also information and case studies available on the Dairying for Tomorrow web site.
