Owl Farm case study - Fertiliser and pasture management

This page from Owl Farm, the Waikato demonstration dairy farm run jointly by St Peter's School and Lincoln University, sets out the pasture renewal, grazing rotation and fertiliser programme used to grow enough high-quality feed.

It covers annual soil testing by management block, nitrogen and other nutrient rates applied through the season, and how weekly farm walks and the Spring Rotation Planner set residuals and pre-grazing covers.
