Industry – agreed Good Management Practices relating to water quality
Irrigation GMP Overall Objective is to reach at least 80% application efficiency. Which means that 80% of the water delivered to the farm is stored in the crop root zone.
Nutrients GMP Overall Objective Maximising the efficient use of nutrients from all sources for plant growth, while minimising the losses of nitrogen and phosphorous to water.
➢ AIC will manage and report the nutrient allocation to Ecan on your behalf. ➢ AIC will make sure that it has nutrients available when it issues shares for your nominated land use. ➢ As part of the share issue, you will be granted a change of land use. ➢ You will have the opportunity to apply for land use change in the future as per our Nutrient Policy.
Hurunui farmers with land that extends into the Waipara catchment ➢ The LWRP requires landowners to hold a resource consent even if irrigation will be in the Hurunui catchment ➢ We are working on a solution ➢ This may be a global consent (held by AIC) or individual consents (held by farmers)and may be have to be dealt with outside the PDS ➢ AIC cannot supply further information during the share offer, but will help in any way we can
