We have the technologies that can help us reduce our emissions on farm. How are you doing on the 12 steps to reducing emissions on your dairy farm?

Protected urea is 30% cheaper than CAN this year. It makes sense - cheaper, grows the same grass, flexible and is good for the environment.

Protected urea delivers lower emissions at a lower cost. It is cheaper than CAN on a €/kg N basis, and, while it may appear slightly more expensive than standard urea, it will give the same “effective N” as urea, at a 12.5% lower spreading rate.

A recently study, published by Teagasc/UCD, demonstrated that high EBI (€181) dairy cows had 10% lower GHG emissions / kg fat- and protein-corrected milk across a range of feeding system, compared to dairy cows with a national average for EBI of €82.

2. Will deliver the same grass / crop yield as CAN or urea
3. Has the flexibility of being used through the permitted spreading period

Time for Lime!
Target fields with the lowest soil pH’s first. Ground limestone is the cheapest and most cost effective tool to control soil acidity in the long term. Apply a maximum of 7.5t/ha (3t/ac) ground limestone in a single application.
