Effluent Soil Cycling

Cultivating perennial ryegrass, white clover, and seasonal brassica crops to maintain high pasture intake across varying seasonal cycles.

Moving herd allocations every 12 to 24 hours to optimize top-layer pasture intake and accelerate root system recovery.

Extracting milk via rotary telemetry cups and piping directly into stainless-steel bulk tanks chilled rapidly to 4°C.

Treating shed waste in holding infrastructure and returning liquid bio-nutrients directly onto forage crops as natural fertilizer.

Land Stewardship

Rigorous Soil Management and Efficient Milk Solids Delivery Across Canterbury

By matching seasonal calving with peak spring grass growth and returning 100% of shed effluent to crop soils, Abington Farming balances operational output with long-term land stewardship.
