Vaughn, I received a startling message last Spring from a US State Dept.
project office asking me to go to a country in southeast Europe,
formerly part of the USSR, and help their farmers. I visited about half
the country, and on two locations, set up 1hectre fertilized pasture
test spots. Nation-wide excitement! Pictures, yield measurements, milk
production improvement on holsteins that weighed about 800#. I'm told
they will all be fertilizing their pasture this year. And that's in the
face of the fact that there was only one brand of fertilizer available,
13-16-16, and for the tests was applied at 50#/ acre, on acreage that
held only native species. Why are your needs in NZ so complex?
