Farm Smarter: Topic 3 - Reducing Fertiliser Costs through Smart Nutrient Use
Description
Murrayland dairy farmers are invited to join us for a practical on-farm workshop exploring the nutrient value of dairy effluent and how it can be better used to inform fertiliser decisions and help reduce fertiliser costs.
Using insights from a local dairy effluent sampling pilot, the workshop will explore the nutrient and economic value of dairy effluent through a case study, group discussions and an agronomist-led cost-benefit activity focused on improving nutrient use efficiency, fertiliser planning and farm profitability.
