Where are we at with Farm Environment Plans?
How do current groundwater Nitrate trends and lag times relate to the high N in the 1970’s and 80’s?
We have three great speakers who will get you up to date with three important topics
- Understand the latest Freshwater Farm Plan Framework and what it means for your farm – Dave Lucock, The Agribusiness Group
- What comparing historic and current groundwater Nitrate levels reveals about long-term trends, water quality changes, and possible time lags between land use and groundwater impacts – Lee Burburgh, Dairy NZ
- Learn how drone mapping can identify waterway risks and provide evidence of positive riparian management to help tell your farm’s biodiversity mitigation story – Josh Brown, Rural Consulting Ltd
