Show Notes

Environmental specialist, Tim Hyde, joins us on this week’s OviCast to discuss calculating nitrate stocking rates on farms. 

Tim explains how this figure is calculated for different classes of livestock. We discuss how to find the figures for cattle and how to calculate the contribution of sheep on the farm. 

With new regulations in effect this year, Tim explains how this may impact producers for the coming season and the importance of knowing your own farm figures.
