Right by the Southland/Otago border is where it’s at for Stefan on his 600 cow dairy farm spread over 210 hectares, plus another 100 odd hectares of run-off which is often used to grow silage.
Heading into Winter he’s pretty relaxed knowing there’s plenty of storage, with effluent being spread between a wintering shed pond, a cow shed pond, and a run-off pond.
Stefan first got in touch with Nevada when he was on the search for a slurry tanker.
After doing his homework, he found Nevada to be the best value for money, having all the specs at a good price. His only concern had been whether or not his tractor could handle pulling the tanker…
The slurry tanker allows Stefan to spread over both the dairy farm and the run-off farm. In typical Otago fashion, there’s a few creeks and streams running over the property, but the light, controlled application of the RainWave applicator makes it easy for Stefan to steer clear of the waterways and there’s no concern over run-off.
The light application also means the cows can go back to grazing faster.
