Pasture management systems for Northland: Quantifying the effect of three different pasture management systems on milk production and farm profitability

The aim of this project is to compare the productivity and profitability of three different pasture management systems in Northland – kikuyu based farmlet using mechanical control of pasture; kikuyu based farmlet using no mechanical control of pasture and an all ryegrass farmlet.

 

 

Expected outcomes of this project

Benefit
Farmers can make an informed decision on how best to manage their pastures i.e. using mechanical control of kikuyu.
Farmers can compare their current system with one of the three being demonstrated on the farm and make an economic comparison.
