Join us to learn how to make to most of dairy effluent with compost industry pioneer Tony Evans.
Dairy effluent is a valuable source of nutrients that can save you money. Learn how to make the most of it on your farm at a free workshop for dairy farmers presented by Tony Evans, founding director of Camperdown Compost.
This workshop will explore different effluent management options, including composting, fermentation and biogas.
You’ll learn:
- Pros and cons of different systems
