The Grants first converted to dairy back in 2012. 

In a bid to boost pasture production, they applied up to 400 units of nitrogen alongside plenty of phosphorus, and while the results were pleasing to the naked eye, the cows were telling a different story.

They started working with a veterinarian and Managing Director of Agraforum NZ Allan Piercy to see what improvements they could make to their fertiliser regime to get better results from their pasture.
