Reducing nitrogen losses from your farm can help improve efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve water quality, meet regulations, and strengthen your bottom line.

Effectively managing nutrients and contaminants is essential for sustaining waterway health and farm productivity.

Efficient water management on your dairy farm can save water, time, and money. Begin by mapping your farm’s water infrastructure and identifying and addressing problem areas.

Water meters are the most effective way to monitor water use. They can detect small leaks and losses and enable you to track seasonal and annual water consumption.

Efficient water use in the milking shed can lead to significant savings. This page provides tips to optimise water use during milk cooling, plant washing, and yard washing.

Early preparation of your winter grazing paddocks minimises sediment loss and movement. Use back fences and portable troughs to reduce soil damage by limiting unnecessary cow movement.

Winter preparation for cows is key to their health and productivity. Ensure they're in good condition, as fat acts as insulation. Group dry cows based on their condition and calving date, enabling tailored feeding and protection from dominant cows.

Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant and animal growth but can harm the environment if not properly managed. There are good farming practices that can help minimise P loss and optimise farm productivity.

Winter crop cultivation is crucial to your dairy farm's success. Have a detailed plan that includes aspects like paddock slope, critical source areas (CSAs), and buffer zones.

Wintering starts with picking the right paddocks. Your choice impacts crop yield, cost, and winter success.
