Electric Pond Stirrer: Keith’s Meeting New Water Discharge Standards

Keith Benefield is a dairy farmer in Taranaki, who runs about 400 cows on his 140ha farm, feeding mainly grass along with some Palm Kernel. His previous effluent system consisted of a two-pond setup with water discharge. It was satisfactory, but would not meet the new water discharge standards. With the amalgamation of two farms, Keith knew he needed to install a new system, which would be future-proofed.
