Nutrient Management Plans
Certified, Overseer-based nutrient management plans for NZ farms. Soil tests to a paddock-by-paddock fertiliser plan that saves money, cuts N and P loss, and keeps you compliant.
Certified Nutrient Management Plans
We’re farmers first, so we know fertiliser is one of the biggest cheques you write each year — and we know how easily that money gets wasted. As a Certified Nutrient Management Advisor, we build your farm in Overseer, work off your soil tests, and turn the numbers into a paddock-by-paddock fertiliser plan you can actually use.
The result is a full nutrient budget and a certified plan: where to spend on nutrient, where to ease off, what your N and P losses look like, and the documentation to keep your regional council happy. Save money, cut losses, stay compliant — no fluff.

Common Challenges
Farmers face real pressure meeting council and assurance requirements while keeping the farm running. We help you navigate freshwater, NZFAP+ and land-management challenges with practical mapping and planning.
Fertiliser Is a Big Spend
Fertiliser is one of your biggest annual costs. Guess wrong and you're either burning money on nutrient you don't need or leaving production on the table. A budget tells you what to put on, where, and how much.
Keeping the Council Happy
More and more regional plans want a nutrient budget and a management plan on file. We produce the documentation so you can show you're farming responsibly and front up at consent or audit time.
Nitrogen & Phosphorus Loss
Nutrient that leaches past the roots or runs off into a waterway is money out the gate and a compliance headache. Overseer puts a number on those losses so we can target the worst paddocks.
