Better nutrient use
Good nutrient management is good business. Shane looks at the whole farm system, including fertiliser, effluent, irrigation, soils and stocking, to find changes that reduce losses while protecting production.

Common questions
What is a CNMA?
A Certified Nutrient Management Advisor is certified under the industry Nutrient Management Adviser Certification Programme to prepare nutrient budgets and give nutrient management advice.
Do I need an Overseer nutrient budget?
Many Canterbury consents, plans and irrigation schemes require one. Requirements vary by zone and consent, and Shane can confirm what applies to you.
Can you help reduce my nitrogen losses?
Yes. Scenario modelling shows which changes to fertiliser, irrigation, effluent or farm system make the biggest difference.
