    13: Reduce, reuse, recycle: clean and dirty water on farm
    Oct 24 2024
    In this podcast Jackie McColm and Robert Ramsay discuss managing water on farm. Looking at ways and methods farmers can reduce clean water entering slurry storage tanks, therefore, increasing capacity and leading to cost savings.

    Additionally we discuss ways that farmers can reuse and recycle water on farm, which increases efficiency, resilience to extreme weather and can provide sustainable water management on farm.
