New Zealand's farmers seem to have at last woken up and smelt the coffee.

Dairy farmers are increasingly using technology to monitor and control their dairy effluent systems, says Precision Farming Ltd.

Farm dairy effluent is a natural, dilute liquid fertiliser.

Dairy farm effluent should be treated as a fertiliser, but carefully, because it is not a balanced fertiliser, being very high in potassium.

The environmental effects of nitrogen that determine how much effluent you can irrigate onto land, says Waikato Regional Council.

Ken Westlake played a key role in a potentially 'game-changing' effluent reduction model for the dairy industry.

With ever tightening regulations on effluent storage, containment – whether in open ponds or purpose built reservoirs – is capital intensive.

A fantastic dairy farmer turnout at a recent effluent management field day is a sign of the sector's commitment to doing the right thing by the environment, says organiser Jon Palmer.

Dairy effluent is a valuable resource which, when managed well, increases pasture production and reduces fertiliser costs.

The management of dairy effluent provides many opportunities for dairy businesses in Australia.
