Farmer profile
Dave Muggeridge
Demonstration farm owner
Tatua Dairy Factory Director
Tatuanui dairy farmer Dave Muggeridge has made real strides by incorporating regular liming into his farming programme. During the last decade he has moved from a liming regime of 1/4 of the farm every four years to yearly whole farm applications. The result is an average pH which is maintained at 6.2.
