FARMERS AROUND the country are making great strides improving the quality of their dairy effluent ponds as they balance the demands of farms and growth. Now the message this summer is, empty your storage ponds when you can.

The Morrinsville sale yards will officially open their stock truck effluent disposal site in a ceremony on February 21.

A new "good clean dairying" promotion will feature at this month's Effluent Expo at Mystery Creek, being organised by Waikato Regional Council and sponsored by DairyNZ.

More than 40 exhibitors will be attending this year's Effluent Expo at Mystery Creek, organised by Waikato Regional Council and sponsored by DairyNZ.
