10.00am – 3.30pm

O’Dowd’s Farm,

141 Aranui Road near intersection with Gillespie’s Line. West of Palmerston North.

Turn south west of H.W. 3 Rangatiki Line onto Aranui Road, the farm is just beyond Gillespies Line.For directions put the address into Google maps Search or ring me.

The agenda for today is to discuss pasture quality particularly preparation 500 or cow horn manure. David has made some in cow’s hooves. We will also discus stirring and oxygenation and its effects on growth. How can we change things to our benefit?

 

We will walk some of the farm. On the way we will note pasture, stock and soil condition. Discuss issues that arise, such as managing extremes of climate and growing a feed wedge for successful mating and hay and silage making. A brief overview of the soil test and what this might mean for nutrient loss.

 

Bring your questions and boots and join us for a day of learning what the BD preparations can do for you and your farm.
