Slurry Tanker: Emily’s Secret to a Thriving Dairy Farm

‘We’ve got a lot of canals and drains to watch out for. The tanker lets us spread when and where we want without risking getting into waterways.’
Emily Steiner – Dairy Farmer, Edgecumbe

The slurry tanker has proven to be a game-changer for Emily’s farm. It allows her and her staff to spread the slurry all over the farm with ease and control the application, avoiding contamination of waterways. The tanker quickly became an essential tool for the farm, and over the years, it has been used more and more.

‘It gets used so much we just decided it was time to upgrade to a new one. The farm has grown a lot over the past 10 years, so the tanker is getting used more and more. We’ve saved a lot on fertilisers!’

Not only has the slurry tanker made managing the effluent easier, but it has also saved Emily a lot of money on fertilisers over the years. Furthermore, as Emily has acquired neighbouring farms, the tanker has allowed her to expand without having to invest in additional infrastructure.

‘The slurry tanker just makes it so easy. All the staff can use it, and we just take it wherever it needs to go. Simple!’

Emily’s investment in the slurry tanker has been a resounding success, transforming the way she manages her farm’s effluent and allowing her to grow her operation with ease. With her innovative approach and determination, Emily is a true inspiration for other farmers looking to improve their operations.
