Proposed Waikato Regional Plan Submission

I own a 70ha Dairy Farm in the Waipa Catchment Block,

We milk between 220-250 cows (see Attached 44 Document

of cows, production per year from 1985-2016)

The Nitrogen Reference Point for 2OLS|LG was 55 kglh a/yr.

See attached full Report from New Zealand Farm Source.

My Plan for the future is not to reduce Further my Nitrogen

& Phosphate Application as see Attached a Sample ofFertiliser spread on Paddock 17 since 1985, you will see that I

have reduced over the last 30 years my Annual Rate ofFertiliser from 900 + kg/ha to 500 ke/ha.

lf we were to adopt all you recommendation of change, w€

will have to decrease stocking rate 20/25%, Fert. By another40% and by moving Fences away from Drains we would lose

another 4 ha's of land.

Ladies & Gentlemen, there is no more land, Council are in a

rush to turn some of our Best into Houses & Road ETC.

You are asking us as a business to carry on with less ofeverything, I give you an example!!

You ask Mercury Power Co. to mothball 1of their 5 Turbines

in each of the two Maraetai Dams, but still produce the same

output of Electricity, it is not Viable Financially.

YOUR NUMBERS ATAGLANCE

Nitrogen Leaching Risk

This indicates the risk of the loss of nitrogen from thefarming system into either the groundwater system orinto waterways.

,A small number indicates a lower risk of nitrogen loss.

N itrogen Conversion EfEciencyThis is the percentage of nitrogen that is brought into thefarming system (fertiliser supplementary feed and cloverfixation) that is converted to products (milk and meat).

The higher the percentage, the more effcient the farm is

at using its nitrogen resources.

OVE RSE E R' NUTRI ENT BU DGETSOVERSEER@ is the preferred farm systems modelling tool used by fertiliser companies, farm consultants, regional councils

and the dairy industry to demonstrate improved nutrient management practice on New Zealand dairy farms. lt is well suited toproviding anassessment of relative change (year-on-year and farm-to-farm). Your data has been processed through OVERSEER@

by our eiperienced Ballance, QCONZ and Fonterra team in accordance with the OVERSEER@ Best Practice Data lnput Standard

and the entire process has been externally audited.

The information in this report is based on the Nitrogen Recording Pages you sent to Fonterra in mid-2016. lf this form was

incomplete, our processing teams may have made some assumptrons while processing the data through OVERSEER@ 6.2.2.

All numbers on the diagram below refer to kilograms of nitrogen per hectare per year (KG/HA/YR), often called units of N.

Farm Management Decisions

Soilprocesses

lnformation on your farm'ssoil types has been collectedusing the best available soilsinformation.

These are the decisions you-makeevery day on your farm.

For example, whether to wintercows off, how to deal with effluent,your stocking rate and on-farminfrastructure etc.

Nitrogensurptus @This is the difference between the total units of nitrogenbrought onto the farm and the total units of nitrogen thatleave the farm as products.

A high amount of surplus nitrogen can indicate an inefficientconversion of available nitrogen into milk protein.
