“A Fert$mart plan removes the recipe used for applying fertiliser as it ensures that nutrients are supplied to optimise grass growth, corrects any nutrient imbalance, and minimises risks to the environment”.
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. Many farmers are now finding that when they get soil and fertiliser management ‘right’, they can produce more feed at no extra cost, and with careful planning fertiliser becomes a strategic tool to boost feed when it’s most needed.
