Event held at Chaos Springs 131 Deam Road Waihi - 07863-7975
Cost $800 per farm
The price is per farm and preferably the whole team involved in farm management can attend. The more the better. The price includes the proprietary data sheets designed specifically for New Zealand conditions and gives the farmers all the tools they need going forward. The grazing planning is designed to lift productivity but unlike fertilizers or amendments they don't need to keep buying every year. I provide free support via WhatsApp for one year after the grazing planning session.
