LJS Contracting’s Success in Effluent Spreading

The timing was perfect when Lars Smith took the leap into his own agricultural contracting business specialising in effluent spreading with Nevada Slurry Tankers.

‘Everything fell into place at once. I was ready to move on from my current ag contracting job and into my own thing. While over some beers with mates the opportunity arose to purchase an existing business as the current owner was wanting to slow down and retire. So LJS Contracting Limited was born.’

It turned out to be a great move, with LJS Contracting being in high demand throughout Northland, covering areas from Whangarei to Kaitaia. Lars has focused the business solely on dairy effluent spreading, enabling him to offer a service where clients not only get the job done well and on time, but that they’re compliant with the ever-tightening council restrictions.

‘Some of the biggest challenges with effluent spreading are keeping up with the ever-increasing restrictions, keeping ahead of the wet weather and getting to all your clients on time.’
