“Our ability to interpret soil test results has improved significantly, along with our understanding of the soil-nutrient relationship. We now have confidence when making fertiliser use decisions on our farm”.
Australian dairy farmers are amongst the most efficient dairy producers in the world. To survive in this competitive industry, the production and utilisation of pasture as our main feed source will be the key to the future success of our dairy industry.
