Slurry Tanker: Peter & Alyse Made A Calculated Investment

Peter Slade and Alyse Fisher are hard-working farm managers and sharemilkers in Whangarei. Driven and determined to succeed, they have been progressively making improvements on the farm with thorough research to back up any decisions. When it came to effluent management, they could see their nutrients were not being fully utilised and something needed to be done about it.

  • ‘We have a small irrigation system set up that works well, but it only does a section of the farm. There’s a lot of value in effluent, and it’s a free resource. We needed to be spreading it over the entire farm.’

They did their research, found the slurry tanker they wanted, and it didn’t take much calculating to prove the investment would soon pay for itself. So, with the farm owner on board, Peter ordered his Nevada 10,000L single axle slurry tanker.

  • ‘The ability to spread the effluent over the entire farm and reduce the need for synthetic ferts made investing in a slurry tanker a no-brainer. I’d been impressed with the Nevada slurry tanker on the neighbour’s farm and could see they are good value for money. Doing the calculations, it would pay for itself in no time.’

Fortunately the 10,000L slurry tanker was available right when they wanted it. It arrived in no time and they got to work spreading right away.

  • ‘We’re really happy with it. It’s quick and easy to use, and I’m glad we didn’t go any smaller.’
