It has to be signed off by the BoR which is not meeting until next week , following that it takes a couple of weeks to sort it, so it all comes down to when the global BoR meeting is held
Really happy we hit minimum but more impressed our MD put a name to a statement

What did everyone make of the KBE sessions then? I was expecting the focus to be more on reducing mineral fertiliser use than all the stuff about excess protien driving the N content in slurry jazz. Very surprised when the final consultant suggested we should start collecting silage effluent at the end, as far as I’m aware that is very much a legal requirement to start with.

I thought it was one of the poorest KBEs I’ve attended. A lot of it was ask your agronomist or get the consultant to draw your nutrient management plan etc.
I have done my own grassland agronomy for 30+ years and developed my own nutrient management plan

I made the mistake of lying down on the sofa to watch it on my iPad. Must have slept through nearly half of it. Fortunately I woke up near the end and managed to scan the code to get my attendance point.

Neighbour had been watching it Tuesday morning last week, said he had been struggling to keep internet connection, so asked did he get to register his attendance at end, he had missed that bit. His comment was “ so I sat through all that bull for nothing” he was not happy

I kind of felt sorry for them, the model seems insanely complicated and the protein efficiency part of it still makes little sense to me. The first to presentations seemed more to be about justifying the model than anything else, I wasn’t 100% focused as the little one was just going down at that point, a sleep on the sofa would of been the dream!

You’re also feeding grass which screws your protein score up.
Seems about right Arla=housed system, oh apart from the advertising

It was the poorest KBE. Some of the very valid questions raised were not adequately answered.Missed it here again.
